Start at the Étang de La Valette car park opposite the hospital.
(S/E) Head north on the path that runs alongside the pond parallel to the district road, continue to the end of the pond, then turn left and slightly right to take an old tree-lined path. At the top of the path, turn left onto a tarmac road, turn right to pass between buildings and continue along the path to join the D22 departmental road (elevation 496).
(1) Cross the district road carefully to continue on the municipal road opposite and continue to the village of Le Mont.
(2) Take the path on the right just after the first house and walk straight ahead for 1 km.
(3) Take the hairpin bend to the left down the path. When you reach the bottom of the forest track, take the path on your right which leads to the Statue of Saint-Valéry.
(4) Retrace your steps for about 150 metres, take the uphill track on your left and arrive at the top.
(5) Turn right to reach the Trois Cornes car park.
(6) From this point, yellow signage will guide you along the Trois Cornes peaks and back to this point.
Pass a barrier, then turn right and continue for 200 metres.
(7) Turn left onto an uphill path. At a wooden bench, turn right and continue straight ahead, passing between the rocks to reach the highest point of the hike.
Go around the large rocks at the bottom and continue along this path to begin a slight descent.
(8) At the bench (which you passed shortly before), continue to the right along the path, taking care as there is a tricky section between the rocks. After this, turn left to continue the descent and arrive at a wider path.
(9) Turn right at the hairpin bend and continue along this path, which goes around the Trois Cornes and offers numerous viewpoints.
(7) Turn left towards the barrier before the car park.
(6) Take the path downhill to the right just before this wooden barrier (which you already passed on the way up).
Please note that there are no more yellow signs from this point onwards. Take this path, which runs alongside the meadow at the start, and continue downhill until you reach a water tower. Turn left to pass in front of it and join the D22 departmental road.
(10) Turn right onto the road and then quickly take the track on the left that runs alongside the school fence. Continue straight ahead to cross the dyke of a small pond, leaving the track that climbs up on your left and continuing straight ahead. Walk along the meadow and then through the deciduous and coniferous woods again. At the end of this path, turn right to reach the Étang de la Valette pond.
(11) Turn left to go around the pond, cross a small bridge and join the (S/E).
