From the N106, take the small road towards Cassagnas, then, at the entrance to the village, follow the signs to the car park located below the war memorial.
(S/E) Take the road back in the opposite direction, passing a fountain and the house "Le Pirsch", then at the fork, go up to the right. Look out for the red and white markings ofthe GR®®72, which you will follow throughout the climb to the Col du Poulio.
(1) Further on, at the temple, ignore a street on the right and continue straight ahead on the path, which quickly becomes a narrow trail winding through the moorland. There may be sheep, but we did not see any sheepdogs.
Higher up, continue through the undergrowth as you enter the Bougès State Forest. You will come to an old minor road.
(2) Follow it to the right until you reach an intersection with a track at Col du Poulio.
(3) A few metres before reaching the track, take the unmarked path on the right that goes uphill.
You can also follow the track on the right, marked in yellow, which also leads to the Col de la Planette, and this allows you to climb less.
The path then descends to join the Col de la Planette at a small road.
(4) Two paths branch off in front of you. Follow the one on the far right for a short round trip to the top of this small hill, which offers a beautiful view.
(5) Turn around.
(4) Back on the small road, follow it to the left to descend back into the village.
(1) At the temple, turn left again to return to the car park (S/E).
