Departure in front of the small Saint-Pierre Chapel (parking available).
(S/E) Take the track (D17) that starts near the chapel and climbs towards the Col de Mounis.
(1) At the fork, continue towards the pass, ignoring the other paths.
(2) At the Col de Mounis, follow theGR® markings that climb towards the Sommet du Corbeau. The path follows the ridge, first through the woods and then across open meadows. The view towards Sisteron and the Monges massif is superb in good weather. Take care to admire it safely.
(3) Return to the pass.
(2) Follow theGR® trail down to the left towards Ravin de la Combe.
(4) TheGR® trail branches off to the left. The track that continues straight ahead allows you to shorten the route, provided it is not closed due to livestock, but theGR® circular route, mainly through the forest, is magnificent.
(5) At the intersection, climb to the right towards the Saint-Vincent caves, still on the GR®.
(6) When the path comes to a grassy embankment and the markings become less obvious, make a hairpin turn to the right and follow the beginning of the track that appears. You will find theGR® markings again a few metres further on.
(7) Be careful not to miss the point where theGR® branches off to the left and climbs quite steeply into the forest. Continue on the GR®.
(8) At the intersection, leave theGR® and head towards "Vieux Mélan". Stay on the Route Forestière du Désert, marked in yellow.
(9). At a crossroads located in a bend, take the path marked with a yellow cross, which starts on the right and leads into the forest. When the path begins to descend, it widens and, at the edge of the forest, simply descend through the meadows to reach the Chapelle Saint-Pierre and the starting point (S/E).
