Cross the barrier and continue straight into the heart of the Partias via a wide path for around 600 meters.
At the fork in the road, take the left-hand path towards Col de la Trancoulette (signposted). The path climbs up through the forest below Rocher Jaune, up a valley and then begins a short, steady climb to the pass.
Once at the pass, take the left-hand path; the ridge is visible to the south-west. Signs point the way to the Aquila cross. Follow this path until the final, more aerial section through the rocks to reach the cross. The panorama from this rocky promontory is simply breathtaking.
The return journey takes the same route.
