Please note: the route between points 4, 5 and 6 crosses private property.
However, the owner does not allow hikers to pass through his property.
The route would therefore need to be altered accordingly.

Hello,
Thank you for your message.
I can confirm that the signposting is clearly indicated right from the start.
I can confirm that you do need to pass through the hamlet of Vitrolettes (you arrive roughly in the middle of the hamlet and cross it on the left-hand side... leaving the other part of the hamlet on your right).
I can confirm that at point 3, it is a public path.
Regarding points 4, 5 and 6, on all IGN Top25 and military maps, the path is freely accessible. If any changes have been made, please take this into account as you continue along the path to the GR43-GRP, which you should take to the right to reach the Truc de Fortunio.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello,
Having completed the Truc de Fortunio hike yesterday following your instructions, we wanted to let you know that:
- the markings are white and red + yellow, not yellow and red as specified in your point (S/E)
- the markings for this hike are not indicated at the start of the hike at the Charpal lake car park
- that you must not cross the hamlet of Vitrollettes and that you must not leave the GRP as specified in points 2 and 3. In fact, following your instructions, we found ourselves in a private field with no markings and, above all, off a safe path. We came across the owner of the field, who was understanding but unhappy when we showed him the instructions on your website. He said it wasn't the first time he had found hikers on his land, which is not suitable for hiking. He kindly took us back to the GRP so that we could reach the summit of Truc de Fortunio.
Thank you for taking our comments into account.

Point 8 complicated due to forestry work

Hello,
Thank you for your positive feedback.
The variety also comes from the fact that the climb is on one side and the descent is on the other.
We look forward to hearing from you again.

A lovely walk, with varied scenery that’s absolutely stunning in spring!

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
It’s true that the little path leading downwards, where we can pick blueberries, is very pleasant. It winds its way through the undergrowth to reach the main path. Splendid.
We look forward to seeing you again.

A brilliant hike! The view is stunning and the walk and path are lovely. It’s a bit tricky to find the path leading off from the viewpoint, but once you’ve found it, it’s definitely worth the effort! Thanks

The view from the summit is simply magnificent; we found the first part more interesting than the descent, apart from the sections where you have to climb over barbed-wire fences – there’s nothing in place to make it easier (it seems hikers aren’t exactly welcome in this area!).
The start of the descent is pleasant, but after point 7, it’s best to stay on the edge of the forest in the field and avoid point 8 (the whole area has been subject to forestry work, making it difficult to cross); you’ll rejoin the track a little further down.
Despite this, we had a good time; thanks to the route’s creator.
