(S/E) From Le Pont, head towards the sawmill, due north, then take the uphill path no. 8, marked in yellow and white. Pass the calvary, then leave the no. 8 trail, continue straight ahead alongside a farm, then turn right onto the Route de la Combe.
(1) Take the path on the left going uphill alongside the Écogîte la Saboterie, heading towards Le Trêve. Cross the road, continue straight ahead on a grassy path and rejoin the road until you reach Pré Martin.
(2) Take the path on the left marked No. 8, which climbs through a deciduous forest.
(3) At the end of a large meadow, continue straight ahead on a path entering the pine forest, with a water tower on your left. Further on, take a wide forest track on the left.

(5) Continue along this downhill track, passing the Virgin of Olme 200 metres further on.
(6) At the road, continue to the left.
(7) Before the hamlet of Les Pinasses, turn right onto the dirt track and continue for about 600 m.
30 m before the first chalet (on your right), turn left onto a path that is not very visible at first.
Continue along this stony path, crossed by streams, pass a footbridge and continue overlooking the Lachet river until you reach the D 6.3.
(8) Turn right onto the road, then after 300 metres at the kilometre marker, enter the pine forest on the left onto a wooded path running alongside the river. Cross the footbridge, following the signs for No. 8 for 80 metres, then turn right.
(9) At the crossroads, continue on the left-hand path marked with signpost no. 6.
Pass the hamlet of Grossat, then continue for 900 m along a good dirt track. At elevation 992, turn right and descend.
(10) At La Vialle, after passing a house with wine-coloured shutters (elevation 940), turn right onto a dirt track leading down to the river, cross the footbridge and continue for over 2 km.
(11) At a right-hand bend, leave the dirt track on the left and enter a deciduous forest. Take a downhill path marked No. 5.
Very soon after starting the descent, turn left at a marker on a tree with a green arrow. Then follow the river on your left until you reach the D101 road.
(12) Turn left, cross the bridge and immediately turn right. Pass the sawmill and continue along path marked No. 5.
