After 600 m, take a track towards " Les Allières "; it follows the bottom of the valley then goes up along a torrent and reaches a crossroads at the post " les Allières ". Follow the trail to the right until you reach L'Émeindras de dessous and then L'Émeindras de dessus.

At the Émeindras de dessus, follow the GR® 9 to the left towards the habert de Chamechaude. Shortly after the Émeindras pass, the path continues by a steep ascent in tight twists for 300 m, then by a balcony path, before going down to the habert de Chamechaude [striking view on the cliffs of Chamechaude]. Go down in the direction of "La Charmette" avoiding the forestry tracks, passing by the "Pied de Velouse" until "Montjalat le Haut".
