Start from the Marmites du Diable car park: on the D1075, 400 m past La Faurie towards Aspres-sur-Buëch and just before a bridge over the Torrent de Durbonas, a track branches off to the left, running alongside the torrent. The car park is at the end of this track.
(S/E) From the car park, follow the path signposted “Marmites du Diable” (yellow markings) which heads into the gorge. Follow this path all the way up the gorge, crossing the stream several times. At the top of the gorge, the path turns left and joins a wide track.
(1) Turn right onto this track and follow it until you reach a hairpin bend to the left (elevation 1183).
(2) Continue straight on along another path (still marked in yellow). Follow this path, ignoring other tracks branching off to the left, and climb gradually until you reach the ridge.
(3) Then leave the marked trail and turn right onto a path that runs along the entire ridge. Cross the summits of the Moure de l’Aigle (elevation 1551) and the Aup in succession. After the Aup (elevation 1623), the path turns into a track that descends straight down, staying close to the ridge. Further on, the track turns at a right angle to the right, at a sheep pen.
(4) Leave the track and continue straight on, following the edge of the pen. This section is off the beaten track, but the terrain presents no difficulty (a gentle slope of grass and rocks). When the pen ends, continue straight on until you come to a path. You can’t miss it, as if you carried on a few metres further, you’d reach the edge of the Gorges d’Agnielles cliff.
(5) Take the path on the left until you reach the next junction (elevation 1173).
(6) Turn right, then right again, and carry on until you reach the hamlet of Agnielles.
(7) Turn sharply right onto a wide track (which is the access road to the hamlet by car). Continue to the entrance of a rocky cirque, where a signposted path (GRP®) branches off to the right.
(8) Follow this path, which climbs gradually through the rocks and continues along a ledge above the cliffs of the Gorges d’Agnielles. Stay on this signposted path, which after a while moves away from the gorges and crosses several tracks in succession, until it joins a wide track that descends to the hamlet of La Valette on the D1075.
(9) Cross the road (caution: busy road), then pass under the railway line and turn immediately right onto a track that runs alongside the railway line. Continue to the next junction.
(10) Turn right and cross the railway line and the D1075 again (caution: busy road) to reach, opposite, the track leading to the Marmites du Diable car park (S/E).
