The start is after Belvédère, towards Vallée de la Gordolasque. Pass Cascade du Ray and under the Grand Capelet hotel. You can park at the side of the road, just after a left-hand bend, before the entrance to the path that leads to Vacherie de la Gordolasque.
(S/E) Follow the path to the dairy farm and, once you arrive, take the path on the right and walk a few metres.
(1) Turn right towards "Crête des Terres Rouges".
Continue until you reach the next fork.
(2) Do not continue horizontally but turn left, uphill, onto the small path that follows the boundaries of the Mercantour National Park (green squares) for a few metres. Then follow this path, which climbs gradually through the woods to the ridge.
(3) Continue uphill to the left, following the summit along a grassy meadow with a few larch trees (from this point onwards, the path is barely visible). After a small cliff, you will reach point 2131 at the foot of Mont Capelet Inférieur.
(4) Continue climbing, which becomes steeper. Reach the summit by going slightly to the right, while staying above the start of the small valleys to avoid the rocky sections and shelter from the north wind.
(5) The return journey follows the same route (S/E).
