Super-Lioran resort, Plaine des Sagnes via the D67, near the chairlift departure points. Plenty of car parks nearby.
See important information under ‘Practical Information’.
(S/E) Keeping to the right of the peatland, head towards the Prairie chairlift.
White-red GR®400 markings
(1) Head up the ski run, which crosses over the D67 road via a bridge. About 150 m further on, take a flat path to the right. Continue along this path at the same level; it joins a hairpin bend on a quiet, tarmac road at the same level. Follow the road to the left until you reach the junction at the Col de Font de Cère.
(2) Pass to the right of the restaurant, onto a steeply ascending ski run. Continue following the signposts, alternating between walking parallel to the run and walking on it. Reach the top station of the Rombière chairlift.
(3) Pass above the chairlift terminus. Continuing due north, follow the GR® signposting to the right. Climb to the Col de Rombière.
(4) Follow the signposts to the right towards Téton de Vénus and Font d’Alagnon for about 300 m on level ground until you reach the crossroads.
(5) Continue left, uphill towards Téton de Vénus (ignore the descent to the right towards the Buron de Meije-Costes and Font d’Alagnon). The summit of Puy Bataillouse looms to the left. You’ll reach the 1627-metre mark (IGN map) at a left-hand bend. Possible alternative route: see “During the hike or nearby”
(6) Turn left at a right angle onto the small path that climbs due north to the summit of Téton de Vénus at elevation 1669. Beautiful 360° view.
Continue eastwards along the ridge until you reach the GR®. Carry on along the ridge, more or less level, until you reach the junction at the Rocher du Bec de l’Aigle.
Yellow markings
(7) Caution: steep and stony path. Leave the GR® markings to follow the steep path on the right. It descends via the most direct route, along an impressive, almost vertical ridge. Descend as directly as possible to Font d’Alagnon.
(8) Head back up to Super-Lioran,
- either via the GR®400 to the right of the Massabœuf chairlift,
- or via the D67 road, following the GPS track. To do this, head down the path to the road, cross it to go behind the car park and reach the bend in the D67.
(9) Cross the road (at the pedestrian crossing) and walk along it carefully until you reach Rue du Téton de Vénus and the car park (S/E).
