Access: from the Die exit, coming from Valence, take the Romeyer road and continue on this road to the car park before the barrier.
(S/E) Continue along the road until the end of the tarmac section. Pass in front of an ONF forest house, known as Le Château, where there is a fountain.
(1) Leave the clearing on your left and take the forest path on your right that climbs under the trees. Follow this path to its end.
(2) Take the path on the right into a clearing valley. Continue climbing along this path to reach the Fontaine des Gravelles.
(3) Continue along the path. At the next fork, keep right to reach Pas de Chabrinel.
(4) Continue north, passing the Fontaine des Endettés and quickly reaching the Cabane de Pré Peyret. Take theGR®93on the right for a few metres to find theGR® crossroads.
(5) Head straight ahead, leaving theGR® trails, and continue climbing through open terrain. You will reach the Plaine de la Queyrie, with its legendary pruned tree, and then the ancient Roman quarry.
(6) Continue along the Plaine de la Queyrie to reach the Pas des Bachassons and its fountain.
(7) Turn left. At the top of this plain, you will reach a ridge overlooking the Pas des Bachassons. Descend to reach the Pas des Chatons.
(8) Take the winding path that climbs up the southern ridge of Grand Veymont. The climb is quite steep, but the path is well marked. You will come out at the summit of Grand Veymont. Enjoy the splendid 360° view from here.
(9) Descend northwards, initially on a gentle slope, before reaching a steeper descent with hairpin bends towards Pas de la Ville. Take care here: there is a fairly tricky section, which could become difficult in wet conditions or in snow. Reach Pas de la Ville.
(10) Continue along the path to the left, heading due west, until you reach theGR®91crossroads just before the Cabane de la Chau, which is clearly visible opposite.
(11) Turn left onto theGR® 91. Be careful, as it is not very well marked but is clearly indicated by cairns. Walk along the western face of Grand Veymont at a distance. Reach a crossroads near the Fontaine des Serrans.
(12) Continue straight ahead on theGR® and, after a long walk through the forest, you will come out onto a meadow. Look for the buildings of the Grande Cabane sheepfold in the distance. Head for the crossroads at this sheepfold.
(13) Be careful here: theGR® has been diverted to the right to go around the Grande Cabane. There are still few markings: follow the cairns. Continue southwards to return to theGR® junction you passed earlier.
(5) Take the path you took on the way there, paying attention to the Pas de Chabrinel passage, to return to the car park on the Route de Romeyer (S/E).
