    1. Take the path that runs alongside the campsite, continue it until the intersection of two paths. Take the one on the left.

    2. In 20 minutes, by a steep path, you come to the old farms of the Namphée. It is a picturesque site that exudes calm and tranquility. Only the song of the water from the fountain fills the air. The cliff in front of the Namphée is home to many birds and raptors. There are also some trails used by smugglers.

    3. The return path rises in the direction of Montanges in the south-west. After a fairly gentle climb, we arrive on a large open space. A sign on the right indicates the direction of Champfromier.

    4. The path runs between boxwood, coppice and fir forest. It joins the path to the campsite.
