Departure from the village of Cette (commune of Cette-Eygun): parking is available in the village square.
(S/E) The path starts above the church in Cette, alongside the stopover lodge (yellow signs). It climbs quite steeply straight away, walking on slate (vertical). Climb a little and you will reach a dirt road, which you leave.
(1) The path continues horizontally, leaving the winding road behind. Shortly afterwards, you will need to cross a stream (large, slightly slippery stones). The path begins to climb. After a beautiful view of the village, you will reach a cattle grid: cross it and close it carefully behind you.
(2) At the fork in the path, take the left-hand path called "Camin deras Muralhetas" (Path of the Low Walls), which runs almost horizontally through the undergrowth with some lovely views of the Cirque de Lescun.
When you leave the forest, cross a valley of ferns and you will reach a place called "Eras Lies" or "Lasies".
(3) The signposts have fallen down, but that doesn't matter because the path is easy to find: it climbs along a small rounded ridge, in about ten regular zigzags! Afterwards, the path leaves this slope and enters the undergrowth, first horizontally and then climbing steeply to a slightly marked fork. Follow the yellow paint markings (which are a little faded). Finally, make a right turn (the path then heads south). The yellow signs for another fork are visible from below, but a large fallen tree blocks the way.
(4) Just before the fallen tree, climb up the steep slope on the left (it is short but steep, walking poles are useful) to reach a much wider horizontal path. Take this path to the left. You will cross another fairly bright undergrowth, then a stream before arriving at a new fork.
(5) Take the path on the right leading up to the Cabane de Sabas and the Pic de Narbissat. This path crosses a forest of large beech trees, which is sometimes muddy due to springs. Towards the end, the slope becomes steeper.
(6) You will arrive at a vast viewpoint at Pic de Narbissat; this peak is barely a small promontory, but it is very well located (see photos). It is possible to climb a little further up the ridge to the foot of the limestone cliff, which is of great geological interest. Then descend all the way back down to the large fallen tree.
(4) Keep to the wide path opposite for the descent to Cette.
(2) At the next fork, you will find the path you took on the way up.
(1) Cross the stream.
(7) Explore the geological site on the right on a round trip. Then continue the descent towards Cette (S/E).
