Bau Trauqua Mountain on the Chemin des Crêtes

Access is by car to the Sainte-Anne Mimet car park.

(S/E) At the far end of the car park, leave the track on your right. Go through the forest barrier, then take a wide path on the left marked in sky blue (follow this markings until you reach your destination. There are also red and navy blue markings on the same route). At Col Sainte-Anne, follow this path which turns sharply to the left and begins to descend.

(1) Leave the road and take the path on the left, just at the bend along the oratory. This single track climbs with a sky blue marker marked: Bau Trauqua circular loop. Pass under a high-voltage line to continue and arrive at the orientation table with benches.

(2) Enjoy the views, then retrace your steps to continue along the single track, which is marked in sky blue and sometimes red/navy blue. Continue along this ridge path and you will see the lookout opposite, which is quite far away, but do not approach it as some of the rocks can be a little slippery. Stay alert.

(3) You will come to a fork. Take the path on the left, which descends and is still marked in sky blue, ending in a sharp bend on a DFCI track. Follow it to the left, descending.

(4) At the junction in the first bend, leave the DFCI track and take the sky blue marked path which descends to the left, along a single track, until it crosses a DFCI track. Turn left and descend until you reach the starting point. Then turn right to return to the car park (S/E).
