A circuit rated as difficult running on both sides of the Durance, starting from L'Argentière-la-Bessée.

The circuit starts right in the centre of town, not far from the bridge spanning the Durance. In fact, you need to cross this bridge to get to the main road
When you reach the main road, go straight across and up to the cemetery. Skirt around the cemetery on the north side, following a forest track
Where the tracks intersect, continue due south on the forest track
At the next intersection, go past the tank on your left and continue downhill on the track, heading due south
Leave the track,...The circuit starts right in the centre of town, not far from the bridge spanning the Durance. In fact, you need to cross this bridge to get to the main road

Leave the track, turning left onto a narrow path which runs through the forest and drops down to La Roche-de-Rame
After the chapel of Saint Roch de Géro, cross the mountain stream and take the narrow road on your right
Upstream from the main road, turn left into the bridge underpass
Carry on due south past the old waste collection site
At the bridge (Pont de Traverses), rejoin the road on the right-hand bank of the Durance and this brings you back to Plan Léothaud
