Head to Urtis between Venterol and Curbans in the Alpes de Haute-Provence south of Tallard. There is a car park with a drinking fountain between the hamlets of Urtis and Les Garcins.
(S/E) Head to Les Garcins and take theGR® 653D, which branches off to the right towards the south-west. Turn left at the first intersection and you will come to a fork.
(1) Continue left on theGR® and follow it to a place called "Clastre" (elevation 1320).
(2) Leave theGR® and turn right onto the wide path now marked in yellow. After a few dozen metres, take the path on the left, heading south, which climbs up to the Serre de Malamort. Reach the ridge where the view is splendid. Climb south-west to the summit. Be careful, some short sections on this ridge are relatively exposed and can be daunting.
(3) Descend on the other side, still heading southwest. Some small sections are very steep.
(4) After this initial descent, turn right at the hairpin bend to walk under Serre de Malamort, continuing to follow the yellow markings. After walking between the undergrowth and the edge of the pasture (some of the yellow markings have been erased but the path is generally quite visible), you will come to a wider path.
(5) Follow this path, which will take you back to theGR® trail you took on the way up.
(1) Retrace your steps back to the Urtis car park (S/E).
