Departure from Féroussat: small car park on the left of the road, take the first path on the left after the small bridge coming from Sarpoil.
(S/E). Follow the gently uphill path and turn left at the three-way junction. After a short descent, pass a small bridge on your left (return path) and continue straight ahead.
(1) Follow the path along the Ribeyre stream, ignoring all the paths on the right. The stream is crossed in three places, which is not difficult in the dry season.
(2) Turn left, the path winds upwards through the woods. Follow the main path to the D24 road (view of the Puy de Dôme when you turn around).
(3) Go down this road to the next bend, then take the path that goes up following a stream.
(4) At the top of this path, turn left. After a short descent, turn left at the three-way junction onto a slightly uphill path.
Follow this technical path down to the D24 road.
(5) Walk slightly uphill along this road, then take the path that descends to your right.
(1) Return to the bridge at the start, cross it and turn right.
After an uphill section, turn onto the first path on the right and at the next crossroads, turn left.
Rejoin the main road and follow it to the left until you reach the starting point (S/E).
