Departure:Col d'Espréaux in Vesc.
To get there, from the village of Vesc, take the D330 towards La Paillette for about 600 metres and turn left onto the small road at the bottom of the valley. Pass the first path on the right, then after two bends uphill, turn right and cross the small stream. Continue uphill to the pass and park in the hairpin bend below the farm or at the start of the hike, taking the gravel path that leads to the house.
(S/E) The hike begins by taking the southbound path that follows the cultivated field, goes around it and then enters the woods. A few metres further on, you will reach the Carrefour du Pin.
(1) Turn left (south) and climb up the small valley towards Miélandre "direct route".
The path, which is not very well marked, leaves the woods fairly quickly after a left turn and crosses an uphill meadow with pine trees to reach a beech forest. Continue through the undergrowth along the clearly visible path, which is quite steep. Follow this path until you reach the edge of the woods at point 1323, after about an hour's walk.
(2) From here, the path is no longer marked. Reach the summit by turning left onto the grassy area, heading south-southeast, following the ridge.
(3) Continue the descent, partly at the summit, heading south-south-west, then reach the hut on the left below.
(4) Go to point 1367, crossing almost horizontally to the right to reach the summit.
(5) Return towards the summit and, before reaching the first hill at point 1399, cut left across the meadow to the next "knoll" (if the slope seems too steep to cut across, you can go via point 1399).
(6) Take the descent along the ridge towards the west to reach the Col de Blanc. The path, which becomes visible again, follows the summit and then turns right at the entrance to the beech forest, skirting around some rocks. After two hairpin bends, it becomes less steep, crosses a small stream and reaches the Col de Blanc.
(7) At the edge of the woods, before the farm, turn right uphill, following a fence towards Carrefour du Pin.
(1) Continue to Col d'Espréaux via the path taken at the start (S/E).
