From the car park, take the road to the left towards Le Buffre.
1) Leave the road and take the track on the right; go through several gates as you head towards Le Fraïsse.
2) Just before Le Fraïsse farm, turn right (GR®60) and continue straight ahead on the track till you reach the D63.
3) Turn right onto the road till you reach Nivoliers. Go uphill into the village on the left, then turn right to cross it.  As you leave the village, continue straight ahead on the uphill track. 200 m further on, turn right onto a path that that runs alongside the Przewalski horse enclosure. Cross the two cattle grids and continue on the track. 
4) NB: Before the climb, turn right towards La Bégude Blanche. At the last house, turn left and take the track, going through a gate and alongside fields, pass a lavogne (waterhole) and go through the hamlet of Saubert (Careful, slow down!).
5) As you leave the hamlet, continue on the road. Join up with the lane and turn left onto it.
6) Just before the crossroads, take the track on the right. Go through a gate and several barriers (please remember to shut the gates to keep livestock safe). The track climbs to the Serre de Gaoujac and goes back down to the D 63.
