Set off from the lodge (S) heading south; at the southern exit of Roche Plate, take the GRR3 opposite (leave the GRR2 on your right, which goes to La Nouvelle via the Ravin Vallon).
Climb up to the Plateau du Cerf via a series of steep hairpin bends.
(1). From this point, the slope is less steep. Continue southwards, with a few sections where a brief descent alternates with the ascent. Keeping to the right of the Maïdo caldera, reach the 1347-metre mark. This point is known locally as ‘Le Rempart’.
(2) Descend first along the left bank, then the right bank of the Ravine Chevaquine, before following the left bank of the Rivière des Galets. You will then reach the Trois Roches, where the water has carved out a rocky beach.
(3) Continue along the GRR3 until you reach a crossroads.
(4) Pass the waterfall.
(5) Leave theGR® and take the Plaine aux Sables path on the left (signposted). Cross this plain to the 1515 contour line to join theGR® coming from Marla.
(6) Turn left to head due north towards the large islet of La Nouvelle and the stopover lodge (E).
