Continue on the track to the right then, at the next junction, take right again and climb the trail. Take the forest track on the right which descends to Pante.
Point 2: Climb the paved road leading to the Massié (! > viewpoint over the valleys!).
Point 3: Follow the D 169 to the right then the path to the right. It leads to Catonières.
Point 4: Go down into the hamlet and, before the stream, take left into the grass. The trail, lined with boxwood, crosses a small valley, then goes up to the left into the meadows. Cross the gate and continue on the wide path. Take the road to the right, leave the Lardenas farm on the right and continue on the rising road (spot at 885 m) opposite.
