Starting point : N 48.219012° / W 4.391281° (S) From the end of the grass car park at Trez Bihan Beach, take the path right and walk along the beach on the cliff. Pass by, on your left, the stairs leading to the beach and go straight. Follow the path that goes into the pine woods and turn right to begin a fairly steep climb to get up the coast.
(1) Continue on the path that passes back through another pine and goes down to thirty metres into a right turn. Continue on the path among the gorse bushes of a heath, at times becoming a little stony. After a stretch in the open, the path passes under more pine trees to then resume in an open area, taking a path along the fields to the right, from above. Keep to the same path and through a small pass and then a sharp descent followed by a climb up to the Pointe du Guern.
(2) At the foot of the Pointe, turn right (a detour up to the left is a way to enjoy the view at the summit). Go straight ahead on the road, under the cover of vegetation, to find yourself at a crossroads after a climb. Then, take the first right and go straight ahead until you reach a 90° left turn (3), taking you to the corner of the wood.
Keep to a route between the wood and the field, keeping the field to your left to find the path which continues to run between the fields to the left and woods to the right.
After passing by a path from the left (4), turn right at the next intersection and continue to and pass by an isolated house, overlooking the slope in front of it (5). The path then leads you to a paved road to be followed downhill. You will see, in the distance ahead of you, the Telgruc beach, Trez-Bellec. Head onto the second road on your right and pass a house in the area known as “Kergariou” keeping on straight ahead.
(6) This rejoins the GR34 coastal path which you should take, turning right. Follow the path along the sea on your left, to the Pen ar Vir. Drive around the tip to reach Trez Bihan Beach on your right (steep cliff). Continue on the dirt road back to the starting point at the grassy car park.
