1/ From the start sign, climb Rue du Château d'Eau. At the fork, turn left and climb up to the flat. At another fork, turn right to a T junction (view of the Morge valley, puy de Blomont, Combrailles plateau).
2/ Climb to the left, then 30m to the right on a track between two pastures. At the junction with another large track, head downhill for 100 m, then turn left. At the D 413, continue straight ahead. At the T junction, turn right for a few meters until you reach another junction.
3/ Go downhill to the left, crossing the Morge river. At the T-junction, continue right (at the first flat spot, view of the Etang de Lachamp; information panel) to a tarmac road (stone cross).
4/ Turn right into the hamlet of Laty. Take the first left, then the first right. At the end of Laty, take the left-hand track. At the crossroads, go straight ahead along the coniferous wood. Ford a stream and go uphill. Join a large track which you follow to the right for 30 m. Opposite a painted wooden cross, take the path on the left. Continue through the forest, ignoring all the paths leading up to the left, until you reach the D 418.
5/ Follow the road to the right for 30 m, then take the left-hand path down into the woods. Cross the Morge by a footbridge made of large flat stones (slippery) and follow the left-hand path parallel to the course of the river. At a fork, take the right-hand path. Before Marmoizoux, turn left, cross the D 416 and continue along the grassy path that crosses the Morge again. At the T-junction, turn right onto the road which leads to Montbuisson on the right.
5 - At the first house in Montbuisson, turn right down towards the Morge, then left along it and right across it. Climb up to the D 413. Go straight on; at the farm building, turn left towards the hamlet of Les Barrats. At the small square (memorial cross in a private garden), turn left to reach the D416, which you take on the right for 300 m. Take the first track on the right. This bends left to reach Les Sardiers. Turn right at the first house in the hamlet.
At all subsequent crossroads, continue straight ahead, as far as Manzat. Drive along the Place du 14 Juillet 1789 and, 50 m before the stop sign, turn right onto a path leading to "center bourg". Climb up the left bank of a stream. At the road, turn left. At the fountain, turn right to return to the starting point.
