Detailed stages
- Park your vehicle on Place du Sabotier, opposite the church, near the pretty renovated wash house.
- Follow the sign for ""Mairie, salle des fêtes"" (town hall, village hall), turn left onto Rue d'Amplan to climb up to the higher part of the village. Then turn right and climb the Chemin de Bouve hill (signposted). You will be rewarded with a lovely view of the village.
- Continue climbing the cobbled street, which is quite steep for most of the way up. Turn left, then right (there is a sign for ""Bouves"").
- You will reach the first barns as you walk along a meadow on your left. Further on, you will come across two drinking troughs: one in an old sarcophagus (!) and one made of cement.
- Keep on the main path, marked in yellow, ignoring the dead-end tracks leading off to the sides.
- You will arrive at the track descending from the Col des Ares. Turn left to descend the track towards the hamlet of Vignaut (sign).
- Stay on this track for about 1.5 km, then take the path climbing slightly to the right (yellow markings). The end of the track is reserved for mountain bikes.
- Walk along a large meadow on your left. The path descends and you will come to the first houses of the hamlet of Vignaut. Turn left to join the small paved road.
- After 500m, you will join the GR86 on the road descending towards Malvezie. Stay on this road for about 1.5km to enter the village of Malvezie.
- Go down Rue de la Carrère, pass the war memorial and you will find the wash house and your starting point.
