At Réotier, follow the winding road carefully towards Tête de Vautisse. Pass through Mikéou, where the tarmac road gives way to a forest track. Continue, staying on the main track at all times; ignore the first junction for “Cabane du Vallon” and carry on towards Vautisse. Pass through the hamlets of Les Eymars and Le Villard. You’ll come to a junction signposted ‘Cabane de la Selle’, ‘Cabane de l’Alpe’ and ‘Cabane du Vallon’; here, turn left and park, if possible, at the Cabane du Vallon.
(S/E) Behind the Cabane du Vallon, take the path that climbs uphill, crossing straight across a vast meadow where the first Croix des Résinières stands in the centre. The path climbs quite steeply through the woods; keep a close eye out for the cairns. You’ll reach the track.
(1) Turn left onto it and, at the next bend, leave the track and take the path leading uphill to the left. You’ll reach a large clearing; walk straight up through it until you reach a large wooden cross: this is the Croix des Résinières.
(2) Continue along the path to the track, then follow it to the right for a short distance. Cut across, continuing straight on through a bend, and climb until you rejoin the track; follow it to La Cabane de l’Alp.
(3) Just past this, at the car park, turn left towards La Tête de Fouran. Cross the large mountain pasture heading due south, climbing slightly. Look out for a pass on the left, below the Tête de Pinfol. Make your way there using the tracks left by the sheep.
(4) At the Col sous Pinfol, head left, towards the east, following the ridge that descends to the Tête de Fouran. See Practical Information.
(5) Descend east-north-east across the mountain pasture until, amongst the trees on the descent, you spot cairns and yellow markings. Pass a small clearing where there is a simple stone structure: this is the Jas de Fouran.
(6) The path continues through the forest, heading north, then gradually westwards. It runs alongside a rocky ridge before reaching the bottom of a small valley.
(7) Cross the stream and climb a little. Descend through the forest to a shepherd’s hut.
(8) This is the Cabane du Vallon (the new one). Continue downhill until you reach the track and the car park (S/E).
