From the Col du Rey, head towards Ferrières. Before arriving in the hamlet, take the track on the left leading to the Can de Balazuègnes and the hamlet of the same name. Go through the hamlet and downhill to St-Julien-d'Arpaon. Turn right onto the N 106 for about 1 km, then fork right to start the climb to the Col de l'Oumenet. The track is steep at first, but then becomes smoother. At the pass, take the D 20 towards Barre des Cévennes. Turn left towards La Cure. Skirt La Cure on the left, then pass in front of Le Bouquet, Le Bramadou and Les Bastides. Cross the D 20 and, on the other side, go up a short but steep ascent (400 m). You return to the Col du Rey by skirting Balmegouse farm on the right.



Parking : Car park at the Col du Rey, at the crossroads of the D 9 and D 983 (Barre des Cévennes)
