Starting from the Peray (Perret) parking lot, most of the ascent is through undergrowth, and quite steady! At the summit, we skirt around the tête noire to reach the Cross, which is the highest point. We return by the same path, or by the long, winding Chemin des Ranges, which is taken at the foot of the Chalets des Bénés; at the bottom of the descent, we continue NNE, and up the hillside towards Les Sions. It's easy to reach the "des Bœufs" chalets, then the parking lot at the start.
The return journey can be made along the same path, or by taking the slightly rougher Chemin des Ranges, below the Chalets des Bénés, which allows you to return via a variant, and the Chemin des Sions.
Reception
Steep but relatively short climb.
On leash only, beware of pastures...
