Start from the top of Col de Cheneau, connecting Vagney to Dommartin-les-Remiremont. Leave your vehicle at the edge of the forest.
(S/E) Take the path (marked with a red cross) that climbs towards the Col de Longeroye. You will reach it in 30 minutes.
(1) This pass is at the crossroads of four paths. Follow the one on the left that climbs the most (marked with a yellow circle, then a red triangle), continuing in the direction of the Roches de Mortevieille. A beautiful climb of about 1.2 km takes you to the ridge, in the middle of a pine forest. Follow this ridge for a few hundred metres before descending to the right (still following the red triangle) to reach the superb Roches de Mortevieille. Continue to follow the red triangle and descend to the plateaus above Dommartin les Remiremont.
(2) Turn right to reach the asphalt road.
(3) Follow the road to the left to reach the Chalet des Meules (a forest shelter open to all, equipped with a table, benches and a wood stove).
(4) For a short break, you will need to retrace your steps to the crossroads where you arrived.
(3) On the left, still following the road, follow the Red Cross markings which will take you to the Étang de la Besace, which you will walk along on the left.
(5) Continuing along the road to the left for 300 metres after the lake, a small path to the left will take you to the Grand Étang lake and its small island in the centre.
(6) Turn around and return to the Étang de la Besace junction.
(5) Take the road that climbs to the left (follow the road for about 500 metres) to reach a place called La Houbette.
(7) Leave the road and take the path marked Croix Rouge on the left and then immediately right, towards Col de Longeroye, which you will reach 3 km later.
(1) Continue downhill along the same path you took on the way up towards Col de Cheneau, and you will return to the car park (S/E).
