Parking at the Col de Prat-de-Bouc.
Red and white markings
(S) Head west towards Le Plomb.
(1) At a crossroads, near a stream, take the path on the left. Keep heading west and stay on the main path, marked in red and white. The slope becomes steeper. Pass directly below the Col de la Tombe du Père and reach the ridge.
(2) Walk along the ridge, which rises steadily, heading west-northwest. Shortly before the summit, turn slightly to the right, directly below an intermediate peak. You will quickly reach the summit, which is equipped with a platform with a railing.
Yellow markings
(3) Descend via a wooden staircase, pass the arrival station of a chairlift (on your right) and head north towards the arrival station of the Super-Lioran cable car. Pass the arrival point of a ski lift (Téléski du Refuge on the 1:25,000 map).
(4) Just a few dozen metres after the ski lift, turn right onto a path (do not go to the cable car station). The path immediately bends to the left and then heads northeast across the slope below the ridge. Pass directly below a pass (the Pas des Alpins).
(5) Continue diagonally eastwards. Enter a series of switchbacks and stay on the main path, heading generally south then south-east. You will reach the crossroads you took at the start of the hike.
(1) Take the path roughly opposite (east) back to the starting point.
the view is spectacular! 😎 Stop for a snack before the climb (bring a windbreaker and hat as it was very windy). The descent to Prat de Bouc was peaceful. A superb day with sunshine.
