Follow this path to the track and cross it to take the path opposite. Turn left after 30 m towards the Col de Chorges. Turn left and pass a farm once you are in the mountain pastures. Turn right at a new detached house, then right again onto the track.
    At a new car park, go through a gate via the pedestrian gantry then follow the track again towards the Col de Chorges. Continue straight on at the following intersection. Then take a small path on the left that leads around a cow pasture. Go through a cow gate (making sure you close it) and take the path on the left.
    Ford a stream then turn right onto a small grassy path shortly afterwards. Continue straight on at the next intersection. Keep an eye out for the yellow markers in the mountain pastures. Turn right into the hollow of a small valley, then continue on a track that disappears under the grass 200m higher up.
    Then go along a ravine. Climb up along a scree slope where you may find a stream, then turn right away from it (yellow markers and cairns). Follow the cairns in the pastures and then cross a new scree slope. A series of scree slopes then a final difficult ramp leads to the Col de Chorges.
    Turn left to climb Le Piolit. There is only one track but the final part is very steep and more uneven.
