Country:
District:
Park at the Torque car park.
(S/E) Follow the red markings to a shoulder before the final climb to the Baudino Refuge.
(1) At this point, you can turn left and follow the ridge for 100 metres to admire the view (sea of clouds on this particular day).
(2) Turn around and head back to the crossroads.
(1) Take the red trail up to the Baudino refuge.
(3) Once at the refuge, look for the brown trail on the right. Pass behind the refuge through a jumble of rocks.
A good ten metres after passing a triangular passage between rocks, a cairned path starts on your left.
Leave the brown trail and take this path, which climbs quite steeply.
Once you reach the flat part of the path, follow it to the top of a scree slope.
Shortly before reaching the top of the scree slope, a cable should appear slightly to your left.
(4) Take the passage along the wall, using the cable for support. This is followed by two small passages with chains. Once you have crossed these passages, follow the path and the cairns to the ridge.
(5) Join theGR®®9(white and red markings) and head left (west) towards the "distant" Croix de Provence.
Follow theGR®® across the Plan de la Crau for 1.5km until you reach a large cairn with a green marker at its base indicating the start of the path down to the Pas du Clapier.
(6) Leave the ridge by descending left along this fairly steep path to Pas du Clapier, where you will rejoin the brown trail coming from La Marbrière.
(7) Turn left and follow the brown trail to the Baudino Refuge.
(3) Return to the car park via the same route as on the way there (S/E).
