Park either on Place de Monti (but spaces are limited) or in the bend a little further down near the cemetery. Marker 478 indicating theGR®51and the start of the hike is just in front of the church.
(S/E) Start climbing the stairs. Cross the hamlet towards Sainte-Agnès.
(1) At a fork (not shown on the IGN map) marked by an iron cross and a sign pointing left to "les balcons de la Côte d'Azur", take the track on the left and immediately take the small path that runs alongside it on the right-hand side, higher up. The path climbs gently through the woods to reach a road a little further on, which leads to the houses a little higher up.
(2) At the intersection, continue straight ahead (south) to marker 477. Then turn right and continue towards the village of Sainte-Agnès.
(3) Be careful here, just before the Cabrolles ravine, the path has collapsed and the hole is covered with a tarpaulin.
You will need to climb down a little to reach the path just below, then climb back up a few metres further on the GR®. Cross the small stream and continue climbing up to La Virette and its ruins.
(4) At La Virette (marker 476), continue to the right (west-southwest) towards Sainte-Agnès. Further on, take a footbridge.
(5) Further on, walk alongside a water treatment plant. You will arrive at the chapel at the entrance to the village (marker 440).
(6) Here, turn right onto the Col des Banquettes road and continue for a few hundred metres.
(7) At marker 441, head towards Peyre Grosse and Pointe du Siricocca by turning off the road to your right. The direction of Siriccoca is now very easy to follow and is indicated on all the markers you will come across, from 442 to 446. After a long walk and a winding climb, you will reach the Col de Verroux.
(8) Marker 446 indicates Pointe du Siricocca on your right: head in this direction (south-southwest) and climb up the rocks on the military road to finally reach the summit.
(9) Descend via the same path to the Col de Verroux.
(8) Back at the pass and marker 446, head towards Col de Castillon. First descend eastwards. Turn right (south) and descend more steeply with hairpin bends.
(10) At marker 447, head south towards the hamlet of Monti. Cross two tracks in succession and continue descending south-east. Pass under a high-voltage power line, then turn left onto a path that becomes a little more uneven (watch your step).
(11) The path leads to a track at marker 492. Follow it to the right towards Col de Rencurel. Cross the pass and continue towards Monti.
(12) At marker 493, turn right and go through a gate indicating the presence of livestock and their guard dogs. Continue downhill, heading south-east.
(13) Turn left and zigzag down through the fruit trees to come out a little lower down on theGR®51, which you took on the way up.
(2) Follow theGR® to the left and, taking the opposite route to the one you took on the way there, return to Monti (S/E).
