Car park near the school in Cantaron.
(S/E) With your back to the school, take the Montée de Verdun on the right, which runs along the mountainside, to the place known as "Cognas" (2 hairpin bends on the road).
(1) Just after the third hairpin bend, at the first houses, turn right, then veer slightly left between the houses to rejoin the single track heading uphill. After 4 hairpin bends, when you change sides of the slope, take the single track climbing up to the left and follow it to the track (carry).
(2) Stay on the track climbing left towards Mont Macaron, keeping to the right at the second junction. Further up, pass a path on the left and another on the right to reach a hairpin bend 400m from the summit. Take the single track straight ahead. The climb is over; now for the descent.
(3) Head left on the first section, which is quite steep. At the small pass, take the path slightly to the left that descends; it’s less steep, with some lovely hairpin bends and a few steps nonetheless...
(4) When you reach the road at the pass, continue straight ahead onto the single track. Keep going straight towards Cantaron; this is the most fun part. Return to the car park (S/E)
