Departure from the village of Dunière in the Eyrieux valley, small car park at the Town Hall. Please note: during the week, use the street and the school car park.
(S/E) Walk back up towards the bridge, cross the D120 at the pedestrian crossing and turn right for a few dozen metres. Then turn left onto the small road towards Le Pont (hamlet) about 300 m away, and cross it.
(1) At the exit of the hamlet, turn right onto a small footbridge that crosses the Dunière. Go up the path on the right-hand side that passes between the houses, then follow the tarmac road as it continues.
(2) At the intersection, go up to the left, then 50 m further on, take a grassy path on the right that goes up towards the hamlet of Le Monteil, cross it.
(3) At the exit of the hamlet, take a path ascending to the left and follow the yellow/white markings of the Doulet route. Join the road at a hairpin bend and continue uphill. After two bends, pass above the hamlet of Les Combes.
(4) At the bend, go straight on up the path (beautiful views of the valley and the village of Dunières). The path winds along a ledge above the Dunière valley.
(5) Take the descent. At the large vertical rock, go around the climbing area to join the Vernoux road. Caution: although this section is short, caution is advised as the slope is steep and the path winds through a maze of rocks. Use your hands to help you and put your walking sticks in your rucksacks.
Once on the road, turn right and walk a few hundred metres to reach a fork.
(6) Take the Silhac road on the left, which descends towards Doulet. At the hamlet, cross the bridge over the Dunière.
(7) At the end of the bridge, turn left to cross another smaller bridge over the Ruisseau de Doulet. Then follow the path on the left that climbs up and goes around the beautiful renovated house. From there, continue along this path, which leads back to the village of Dunière along the river: beautiful views of the water flowing through numerous granite formations, especially in spring.
When you return to the top of the village, turn left onto the one-way street and then, at the end, take the small path down to the road with the bridge you took on the way there. Turn right, cross the road at the pedestrian crossing and return to the starting point (S/E).
