At the crossroads, go straight up to Le Béal (view of the village of Beurières). At the crossroads, continue straight ahead towards the honey mill. Just after, turn left at the crow's-foot. Keep to the main path until you reach a fork; continue uphill to the right.
2/ At the road, go right for 350 m, then take the path leading up to the left. 10 m further on, at the crow's feet, go straight on. Pass under the hamlet of Olliergues and continue to the tarmac. At the crossroads, turn right onto the road. 30 m further on, climb the track opposite. Follow the low wall and keep to the same path.
