(S/E) From the hiking information board near the wash house on the RD210, walk along the old ramparts (Rue du Village), passing in front of the Trou de la Vergogne, then in front of the Portail du Midi (explanatory notes).
(1) At the crossroads, turn left onto the road towards Hameau d'Intras. At the junction in front of the school, turn right towards Saint-Andéol-de-Berg (sign + yellow and white markings). About 150 metres further on (at the second fork), turn right onto a concrete path leading to the Domaine des Vigneaux wine cellar.
(2) Continue straight ahead on a path leading to the tarmac road. Turn right onto this tarmac road. Continue, passing a first road on your left. At the next three-way junction, turn left and follow the road north-east to the junction with Chemin de Conille.
(3) Turn left (north-west) onto the dirt track and follow it to the next junction.
(4) Follow the small road on the left for about 150 metres.
(5) At the Mias crossroads, turn left and climb up a wide forest track that winds its way up to the ridge at the Bétoulet junction.
(6) Follow the track to the left towards Léouze (south-west). After about 100 metres, turn left and continue along the track: there are lovely panoramic views.
(7) At the crossroads, continue left, staying on the ridge track, pass in front of the pylon and continue to the tarmac road. Follow this road for about 250 metres.
(8) Turn left onto a path (horse paddock fence). Follow this path southwards, passing the orientation table on the left of the path, which then descends towards the road at a place called Small Pass de la Serre.
(9) Cross the tarmac road and continue straight ahead, opposite, along the path that follows the ridges for about 4.5 km (alternating between small ascents and descents). Ignore the various paths that branch off and stay on the ridge path. You will reach the Mât des Hermessennes.
(10) Take the left-hand path (very rutted in places) descending the hillside towards the road (no signpost for La Fare). There are old signs indicating private property and no trespassing. However, there are no barriers and the path is well marked: follow it carefully.
(11) At a small pass, the path turns left and reaches the Col de la Fare.
(12) Follow the tarmac road to the right for a few metres, cross it and take the path opposite.
(13) At the crossroads, follow the path straight ahead for about 250 m until you reach the next crossroads.
(14) At this junction, turn left and follow the forest track eastwards until you reach a three-way junction.
(15) Turn right and follow the track for 250 metres.
(16) At the hairpin bend, turn left and continue along the main track following the marked route (ignore the various paths to the right or left).
Reach the next track junction, above the beautiful Devessou farm.
(17) Turn left, then after about 250 m, turn right and follow the track heading north-northeast towards Serre de Lévrou. Ignore the next two junctions and continue north. Pay close attention to the signs indicating changes in direction.
(18) At Mât de Traversas, follow the track towards Valvignères via Daufigères.
(19) At this junction, continue along the path ascending to the right. Further down, cross two small streams, then cross the small bridge over the Dardaillon. Follow the path that climbs between the vineyards to the first houses and the small road that you follow to the right until you reach the RD210. Turn left and return to the starting point of the hike (S/E).
Very beautiful hike without any major difficulties. Very beautiful views.
