Étape 1 : From the start sign at the washhouse shelter, cross the road onto a path bordered by a low stone wall. At the road, take the dirt track opposite. At the crossroads, turn right as far as the stone bridge over the Couze Pavin.

Étape 2 : Cross the bridge and climb the steep path. After the plateau (panoramic view), turn right towards Bessole. At the road, go right for 150 m and, at the bend, take the path on the left, ignoring the adjacent paths and continuing on the balcony path. After crossing the Verneuge stream, at the “Les Niorts” intersection, turn right onto the road, then take the second road on the left, which climbs towards the Jonas caves. At the bend in the road, take the steep right-hand path (overlooking the valley) to the road.

Étape 3 : Turn right downhill (Jonas caves) and continue along the road to Le Cheix (Cheix chapel, cross). Immediately after the bridge, turn right along the stream. At the road, turn right into Cotteuges, then right across the bridge for a 10-minute round trip to the Cheminée des Fées. Back at the bridge, turn right to return to the start.(Potential safety problem at Verneuge)
