Start from the Croix d'Amanzé car park, which can be reached from Chénelette on the D337
(S/E). Follow the forest road marked Saint Rigaud.
Looking at the building on the left, you will see a path leading up into the forest. Look out for the red mark on a white background with a stylised fir tree and the letters SR and an arrow with the number 2. These marks will mark the entire route. The path climbs to the top of Mont Saint-Rigaud, which you will reach very quickly.
(1) At the summit, there is a Douglas fir belvedere with a double staircase. On the platform, there is an orientation table.
On the other side of the summit, there is a tarmac road leading to the antennas. Follow this road down to the miraculous fountain surrounded by numerous crosses left by visitors. Here you can refresh yourself. Opposite the spring, a path branches off to the right. Take this path and join a tarmac road.
(2) Take the road to the right and descend for about 500 m.
(3) One of the red signs on a white background invites you to take the path on the left that goes downhill.
(4) After 300 m, another sign indicates a path on the right (sharp bend) which goes uphill and then turns left onto a wide path, which is a little damp in places. The path turns right and joins the road you left earlier. Follow the road to a crossroads where there are several paths, including theGR®7, which you ignore.
(5) Follow the trail markers indicating a path that descends quite steeply and is rocky in places.
(6) You will come to a flat area which you cross to find a wide, comfortable path that follows the old railway line on the right.
(7) Pass over the Châtelard viaduct.
(8) Exit the forest and you will see a path climbing up to your right. Bear slightly right and join circuit 1 from Saint-Rigaud, which you follow in the opposite direction for a short while until you reach the road at Croix des Oncins.
(9) Turn right onto the road.
(10) After about 500 metres, leave the road and take a path that climbs up to go around the Verrière woods.
After another 500 m, turn left and you will arrive at a clear-cut area. Look for a post marked with the circuit sign and turn left onto the path that climbs uphill. Pass in front of the Soleilhavoup hut and join the road, which you follow to the right for 300 m.
(11) When you reach a crossroads, turn right onto a path that leads back to the Croix d'Amanzé car park (S/E).
