Orientation wise, the only tricky part is at "Les Beaujours", take the private road (sign for the cars) before the last nice house turn right onto the grass road, 200m after there will be a trail on the left going up, it will be a mix of trail and timber man road. Keep going up until you reach the second isolated chalet. Just make sure you do not cross any of the water stream who guide you to the top until you cross the GR. This is an easy route, it is longue but rewarding with the fantastic views you can enjoy all along. Nice trail, nice villages.
