Park at the Dauphins car park in the Saou forest.
(S/E) Take the road that is closed to traffic and leads to the Trianon and the Auberge des Dauphins.
(1) Continue straight ahead, then turn right onto the track. Cross the Vèbre river on the concrete bridge (sign) and immediately turn left onto the widePR® (yellow) marked trail. Pass the horse riding centre and arrive at a meadow.
(2) Turn right and start a steep climb. At the fork, continue on the main path and ignore the path on the right. You will reach a fork (Les Coupes) with a forest track.
(3) Cross and continue climbing, veering slightly to the right. Join the carriage track.
(4) Cross and follow the forest track, turning left as you climb.
Reach the Berches crossroads.
(5) Take the forest path on the right (sign for Pomerolle), continue for about 150 m and find the start of a path on the left.
(6) Follow this path. After a steep climb, the path turns right and continues through the woods on almost flat ground. Reach the ridge at Pas de Jossaud.
(7) After enjoying the view, continue through the woods, pass Pas de Courbis (viewpoint) and you will reach the summit of Grand Pomerolle, clearly marked by a large cairn.
(8) Continue towards Petit Pomerolle, taking care as the descent is steep and can be slippery in wet weather. At the bottom of the descent, you will come to a fork at Pas de Berlhe.
(9) Begin a short climb to reach Petit Pomerolle, then descend to another fork (Petit Pomerolle signpost).
(10) Turn left for a short detour to the viewpoint at Pointe du Petit Pomerolle (be careful of the cliffs!).
(10) On your return, continue to the left. The trail winds downhill and turns into a forest path. Follow the contour line and you will rejoin the track.
(11) Follow this track, ignoring the paths that quickly branch off to the right and left. Stay on this track to return to the starting crossroads.
(1) Turn left and retrace your steps to return to the car park (S/E).
