The starting point is after the village of Gras on the narrow road that leads to the hamlet of Gogne. At the pass, park your car on the right along the forest road.
(S/E) Leave the tarmac road on the left that leads to Gogne and the forest road on the right, which will be the way back. Take the path opposite, which follows the same contour line (private hunting sign). Follow this path until it joins a wide forest track, ignoring the two paths on the left.
(1) Take the path on the left that leads to the ruined farms of Le Chambonnet.
(2) When you reach a small plateau, you will see the first ruins on your left near a wild boar hide. Admire the old terraces opposite. Then begin a steep descent to reach the other ruins.
(3) Walk around the farm and then climb back up the same route to the first crossroads.
(1) Go through the green gate on the left and descend the path lined with a dry stone retaining wall. Join the forest road.
(4) Follow it to the left towards the coniferous forest planted on a hillock. Ignore all the paths leading off to the left and right. Then go through another green gate. 100 metres further on, at the fork, take the path on the right that climbs gently, marked with white and yellow signs.
(5) At the "Les Mourades" signpost, continue straight ahead towards Saint-Maurice d'Ibie and, 10 metres further on, take the wide path in the centre under the woods, which then becomes a trail. Descend towards the Gautier stream, cross it and then cross the Vachéres stream on the left. Immediately turn right to climb up this stream on the right bank via a pretty path to the Col de Reboul.
(6) At the pass, turn left onto the wide path and 30 metres further on, leave it for a small path that plunges right into the woods towards the Palliéres stream. After crossing another small dry stream, take the hairpin bend to the right to follow the valley. Climb up to the second hairpin bend, follow it to the left to join a wide path on the ridge. Turn right. At the next crossroads, go straight ahead (signposted Gras).
(7) 100 metres further on, a path on the right blocked by a chain takes you along the contour line to the hamlet of Pallières.
(8) After visiting the hamlet, return to the previous crossroads.
(7) Take the track on the right and follow it to the next pass at a place called Maubert.
(9) Leave the track on the left and continue on the forest road that climbs steadily. Stay on this main track, ignoring all the paths that branch off to the right and left. You will reach the junction with the road that climbs up to the television relay station.
(10) Descend straight down the same track to return to the starting point (S/E).
Plan carefully for this hike during hunting season, as you will be walking along hunting grounds and there are also many posts for wild boar hunting.
