WARNING: in summer, protect yourself from the sun and keep hydrated because of the long distance, the sunshine and the elevation gain.

Head north on Rue du Four, then continue along a slightly sloping path towards the "Grave" stream. Further on, turn left at the junction with the "Ménentière" stream and go up towards Fournes-Cabardès.

In the village, turn right on rue de la bergerie (D401) leaving the wash house on your left.

At the level of the "Courtal Long" sheepfold, in the left-hand bend, take the path on the right towards the pass (alt 644m) on the crest of Mount Simel.
Take a break to admire the landscape. Resume the progression: go down the stony path for 1km then at the level of a grove of trees, turn right through the scrubland.
At the bottom of the track, turn right and 150m further on, turn right again and go up.

Arriving at a flat area, at a small crossroads: look out for the signs.
