Description

A pleasant route along a stony uphill track and a relatively technical downhill path.



The circuit starts not far from the La Roche-de-Rame mayor's office ("Mairie") near the Bouchouse mountain stream. First, follow its left-hand bank, going upstream. 430 metres further up, cross the mountain stream and carry on along the right-hand bank. At the crossroads, turn right to cross the mountain stream again and carry on uphill towards Bel Pinet.

Turn left towards Le Lauzet, winding uphill along a stony track
When you reach Bel Pinet, at 1,400 m altitude, take the track on the left to the Calvary and the Bois du Truc
150 metres past the Calvary, at 1,561 m altitude, turn left to the Bois du Truc up a final short ascent 
180 metres further on, at a set of gate posts, turn left onto the path below the track, to tackle the single-track descent (Caution! Quite steep downhill section to reach the path, and technical stretches on the path)
At the Bois du Truc, at 1,510 m altitude, carry on down the single-track section towards Le Bathéou and La Roche-de-Rame (exercise caution on the numerous technical stretches)
At Le Mas des Ducs, at 1,290 m altitude, carry on straight ahead towards Bathéou and La Roche-de-Rame
Continue straight ahead along the track above Le Bathéou, heading towards Les Gillis and the dwellings
At Les Gillis, turn left onto the D338. Then, 60 metres further on, turn left again to the village centre
Turn right and follow the Bouchouse downstream on the right-hand bank. Then, after 170 metres cross the mountain stream, which brings you back to the mayor's office and your starting point
