(S/E) Follow the Route des Thermes for a few metres; turn right to cross the Vallon des Sources estate. At the exit of the estate, join the fitness trail.
(1) Follow this trail past the various spots, then emerge onto the D20 at the Thermes.
(2) Take this road and follow it until you reach the Cousson track.
(3) Leave the road and turn right onto this track. Pass through the gate, then cross the ford over the Torrent des Eaux Chaudes, and begin a steeper climb. Then veer right to look out over the right bank of the Ravin de Richelme. Further up, you’ll reach a crossroads of footpaths.
(4) Leave the track here by veering to the right and cross the Ravin de Richelme. Continue the climb, passing the Ravin de la Fonse, then follow a series of tight hairpin bends to reach the multi-way junction at Les Hautes Bâties de Cousson.
(5) Here, take the wide track on the right and follow it to its end.
(6) Carry on along the path that follows on from it; stay on this path, ignoring all the turn-offs to the right or left. You’ll emerge at the Sommet du Cousson, marked by its paragliding launch site.
