Park near the Quatre Chemins crossroads.
(S/E) Take the Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle path westwards. It runs along the D987 for about 100 metres.
Leave the road and continue on the St Jacques trail on the left (red and whiteGR® markings topped with blue). Follow it through woods and meadows.
(1) Turn left onto theGRP® Tour des Monts de l'Aubrac trail (red and yellow markings) to Pratviala. Continue on theGRP®, which becomes a small tarmac road where the road turns right after crossing a small stream.
(2) Take the path on the left, which is bordered by two stone walls. If, as when we passed through, it has not been mowed, you can cross the pasture on the right and follow the path, passing through the cow tracks in the meadow. At the entrance to the small wood, the path becomes passable again. Admire the piles of granite boulders on the hillock (Lous Rons) on your right.
(3) Turn left onto the small road and then, after a few hundred metres, take the stony path on the right.
(4) Join theGRP® trail around the Monts d'Aubrac by turning onto the path on the left (red and yellow markings). Continue until you reach a road.
(5) Follow theGRP® markings, which take you right onto the small road for a few dozen metres, then turn left onto the small road and continue straight ahead on the carriageway. Continue north-northeast to the Croix de Conord.
(6) Take the path on the left at the St Jacques path junction.
(7) Reach the main St Jacques path (red and white + blue markings), which you should take on the left and follow to the Quatre Chemins crossroads (S/E).
