Departure from the car park at the Sainte-Marie-du-Ménez-Hom chapel.
No signposts
(S/E) From the car park, cross the D887 with caution and take the D47, leaving the Sainte-Marie-du-Ménez-Hom chapel on your left. Follow the D47 for about 700 m, ignoring a wide lane on the left (which will be the return route), until you reach an intersection.
GRP® markings (yellow and red)
(1) Join theGRP® of the Crozon Peninsula by turning left onto a small road towards Kergaoc. Follow it for about 200 metres, then turn left onto a driveway that climbs steadily up the eastern flank of Ménez Hom. Continue on theGRP®, ignoring the paths that branch off to the left and right. The lane becomes a narrower, steeper path, leading to a T-junction at the top of a small pass.
No markings
(2) Leave theGRP® by turning right to reach a cairn which, according to legend, houses the tomb of King Marc'h (on the way, there are beautiful views of the Aulne valley and the Térénez suspension bridge). Pass the cairn and continue along a rocky path that descends, narrows and becomes steeper (take care) until you reach another T-junction.
(3) Turn left onto a lane at the edge of the Trégarvan Communal Forest (beautiful views of the main peak of Ménez Hom). Follow it to another trail intersection.
(4) Turn right and then immediately left onto a wide uphill lane. Continue, ignoring the paths on the right, until you reach an intersection and cross theGRP® of the Crozon Peninsula again.
GRP® markings (yellow and red)
(5) Turn left to join theGRP® which climbs steadily up the western flank of Ménez Hom. Ignore the paths branching off to the left and right and continue on theGRP® until you reach another intersection.
No markings
(6) Leave theGRP® and continue straight ahead on a path towards Yelc'h, the second peak of Ménez Hom. Turn right at the next trail junction, climb a steep slope, pass a post with an anemometer and solar panel to reach a viewpoint (beautiful views of Douarnenez Bay, from Pointe du Raz to Cap de la Chèvre).
(7) Ignore a path descending to the right and turn left onto a grassy lane that goes around Yelc'h to the east. Turn right at the next intersection, then left and cross a road. Continue left on this road, pass a car park and reach theGRP® for the third time, at an orientation table.
GRP® markings (yellow and red)
(8) Continue on theGRP® which goes around the orientation table on the right, then a geodetic marker indicating the main summit. Leave a group of Second World War blockhouses on your right, largely hidden by vegetation. Continue downhill to the start of a path on the right.
PR® (Yellow) markings are very discreet
(9) Turn onto this path down the eastern flank of Ménez Hom, climb a short steep section, then descend to a path junction.
No markings
(10) Take a narrow path slightly to the left, which descends, is rutted in places and quite steep (caution), to reach a wide lane that leads to a small road (D47).
Follow it to the right, turn right again to enter the grounds of the Chapelle Sainte-Marie and take the opportunity to visit it if it is open. Leave the grounds and cross (with caution) the D887 to reach the car park (S/E).
