Park in the stadium car park, 1 Rue des Écoles, Rontignon.
The yellow signposting (route no. 8) is missing along a significant part of the route.
(S/E) From the car park, head towards the town hall.
(1) Cross Rue des Pyrénées (D37) and take Rue du Vieux Bourg opposite. At the next junction, turn slightly right onto Chemin des Sources. Cross a stream. Shortly after a left-hand bend in the road, look out for the start of a path on the left.
(2) Leave the road and turn left onto this path, which climbs into the woods. After about 250 m, at a Fork in the road, turn right. Ignore the paths or tracks branching off to the left or right and continue to the edge of the woods, where you’ll reach the hamlet of Cazaubou.
(3) Carry straight on along the small road (Chemin de Castagnou). Ignore a road coming from the left (cross), carry straight on and pass the hamlet of Sabaric (houses behind a copse).
(4) Immediately afterwards, leave the road and take a small track on the right (Chemin Passabet). Carry on straight ahead, heading west. You’ll come out onto a small road (Chemin de la Glandée).
(5) Follow it to the left. At the next junction, turn right onto the D209 and walk for about 500 metres.
(6) Just before the hamlet of La Chartreuse (castle), turn sharply left and follow a path that leads down into the forest. Cross a stream (dry in summer), then head down briefly to the right.
(7) At the bottom of the descent, turn left and pass under a high-voltage power line. At the Fork in the road, take the Chemin des Bartots on the left, pass under the high-voltage power line again and head uphill.
(8) When the path takes a sharp left-hand bend, take a track on the right. Continue climbing through the woods. On emerging from the woods, you’ll reach a crossroads (Vierge) and rejoin the Route de Piétat.
(9) Follow it to the right. At the next junction, take the Chemin de Montalibet on your left, which descends gently. At the end of the tarmac road, continue along a path that descends more steeply. You’ll come out onto the Chemin de Lasbouries.
(10) Follow it to the right. Ignore a small road coming from the left and carry on straight ahead.
(11) Turn left onto Chemin de Lasbouries, leaving Chemin de Cassieu on your right. Then turn right and carry on straight ahead (north-north-east).
(12) At the junction, carry straight on and cross a stream. Ignore a small lane on the right and, at the next junction, carry straight on to the church.
(13) Veer to the right to join the D37 immediately and follow it to the left. Ignore a street on the left, then one on the right, and you’ll come to a junction you passed at the very start of the walk (town hall).
(1) Turn right and you’ll soon reach the stadium car park (S/E).
