Lauvet d’Ilonse (crossing)

At the Col de la Sinne, follow the signpost "Lauvet d’Ilonse" and initially walk gently uphill parallel to the road and soon through light mixed forest. At a spring with a fork in the path, continue straight ahead, and at the Col des Fourches also straight ahead (signpost "Lauvet d’Ilonse"). After a long traverse of the slope, a path branches off to the right to an alpine hut, but here, too, continue straight ahead and slightly uphill. At a short scree area the path becomes somewhat unclear and you follow the yellow markings. Then the path soon turns left and reaches a saddle. From there, on a faint path, continue south to the summit plateau. The path makes a large left bend and reaches a gentle ridge, where you turn 90 degrees to the right and climb without a path to the highest point with a stone pyramid to enjoy the magnificent mountain panorama.

From the summit, cross the extensive plateau and continue to the westernmost subpeak, where you descend southwest to a flat saddle and continue in the same direction following the ridge to the last elevation. Here you turn sharply to the right to descend over a steep slope to a clearly visible forest road. There, turn left and continue slightly downhill until you reach a right-hand hairpin bend, where at a signpost "Col des Fourches" a footpath branches off diagonally left (yellow markings) and leads along the slope in a traverse. At first the path is somewhat overgrown but soon leads into a beautiful old alpine path that runs horizontally around a ridge and eventually reaches the ascent route, where you turn right back to the starting point.
