Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
1/ From the church, go down to the RD 999a, turn right towards St-Germain-l'Herm. Drive 200 m and turn left to Moulin Neuf. Turn right on the second asphalt road to the Pont du Roux (leave the rightmost road going to Moulin Neuf). Possibility of visiting the Pont du Roux (A-R: 300 m).
2/ Before the houses, take a grassy path to the left which climbs up to join the D999 at the village of Feneyrolles. Cross the road to join the tarmac track that climbs up opposite. Pass an antenna and continue along a path through the woods, which leads back to the D999.
3/ Cross the road to take a dirt track through the woods. At a crossroads, take the leftmost path, still in the woods. A little further on, leave this track on the left and follow a path which continues through the woods. When you come to a forest road, continue straight on until you reach the village of Etuy. In this village, take the tarmac road to the left.
4/ Take the road at the top of the village and turn left in front of the last house. Continue up a dirt track (view of the Dolore valley). Turn right and cross the Sagne. Turn right onto a tarmac road that descends to the hamlet of Losmeix. Follow the asphalt road, cross a bridge, go 60 m and take a track on the left to get back to the starting point.
