From the stop, cross the road to reach the parking lot, start on the marked path (direction east) towards the Cascade de l'Oursière.
The itinerary goes through the forest, goes down to reach the Etang des Marais Chauds and then the crossing of Marais Chaud. Then take the path going up south-east. At Pierre Molle, take the Gâtte road on the left and then the bridge over the Pourrettes stream.

Go up in the forest by well traced but rather steep laces until you reach a flat area where you discover the different meanders of the Doménons stream. At the Oursière, choose the path towards the Robert Lakes, which then moves away from the river bed. Go up the slope lined with shrubs (alders) until you reach a new flat to the south where you meet the GR738®.
