Access: coming from Gap, 2 km before Veynes, take the D320 towards Furmeyer. At the next junction, take the D20 opposite towards Les Savoyons. Drive through the village and continue to the bridge. Park just before the bridge (altitude 841).
(S/E) Leave the D20 and take the small road towards Jouquetti.
(1) At the bend, leave the tarmac road and take the track opposite (east) (at the start of the track, a sign on the left mentions the volunteers who created this magnificent path). The track quickly becomes a path that follows the contour line.
(2) After a kilometre or so, the path winds upwards, generally heading north-east. Higher up, the path climbs further, heading north-west. You will come to a fork.
(3) Take the right fork, heading north, on a less steep slope to the village of Furmeyer.
(4) At the crossroads, take thesecond right and cross the village. At the exit, pass a house on your right and climb northeast on a well-marked path through shrubbery that goes around the Fays hill on the right. Ignore the paths branching off to the right and continue to a crossroads at Col du Fays (elevation 1186).
(5) Take a path on the left towards "Mine Garcine", then turn immediately right (west). Climb up the hillside to reach the viewpoint.
(6) Retrace your steps back to the pass.
(5) Turn left towards Furmeyer. After walking west-northwest through a beautiful beech forest, turn south, then southeast and join the D320. Follow this road to the left for about 500 metres until you reach a fork at a chapel.
(7) Turn left towards the village and you will come to the fork you passed on the way there.
(4) Turn right and, following the same route as on the way there, you will come to another fork, which you also passed on the way there.
(3) Turn right, west-northwest, and begin climbing to reach a fork.
(8) You can go to the peak by turning right and returning. Continue in the same direction, west-southwest, on the path that leads to a reservoir. Go around it on the right. Take the tarmac road on the left and return to the initial fork.
(1) Turn right at the hairpin bend in the road and you will soon reach the starting point (S/E).
. Pleasant trail, but still a little early to walk it as the flowers were still in bud. Lovely views of Veynes and Furmeyer at the Garcine mine.
