Park in the large car park in front of Chalet Reynard
(S/E) From the car park, head towards Chalet Reynard and take the wide path that climbs up to the right, marked in yellow. 150 metres further up, continue to the right towards Le Signal and Le Mont Ventoux. The path leaves the valley and begins to climb for about 1 kilometre until it joins the ridge path.
(1) When you reach the Le Signal sign, turn right onto the ridge path towards Pas de la Frache and Combe Brune. This path, marked in red and white (GR®4), begins to descend gently, passes the Combe Brune sign in the middle of the pine trees, then continues straight ahead on the stony path towards Col de la Frache.
When the path becomes grassy, go around a barrier on the left to come out onto a paved road and the Pas de la Frache sign.
Leave the markings and climb up the tarmac road opposite, which leads to a platform. Cross the platform (preferably on the left as the path is better) to reach a narrowing and the path opposite. At the end of the path, a cairn marks the start of the trail on the left.
(2) Turn left and take this path, which descends through the pine trees for 600 metres. It crosses two clearings, then at the third, look for cairns on the left.
(3) Turn left and follow the path heading west towards Mont Ventoux and down into the forest.
This fairly wild trail will cross the forest for more than 3 kilometres, along the mountainside, sometimes uphill, sometimes downhill, with no other trails branching off. It eventually comes to a fork on theGR®9. Turn left for 20 metres to reach the Serres Gros sign.
(4) Take the path that climbs steeply to the left, marked in yellow, towards Chalet Reynard and Tête de la Grave. It climbs through the forest and ends in the scree at the summit, joining La Tête de la Grave and theGR®4.
(5) Turn left to descend towards Chalet Reynard. After 100 metres, leave theGR® and take the path that descends to the right (marked with a red and white cross and a yellow cross), continuing to follow the red stakes (markers for snow). There will be no more markings, but the path is very visible and leads to a small car park at the side of the road 1 kilometre further down.
(6). Take the path that branches off to the left between the posts and heads towards the start of the ski lift. Just in front of the ski lift, take a path on the right that joins the D974.
Continue left on the road and return to the car park (S/E).
! Overall, very good!
