Step by step

Start : From the Clelles-Mens SNCF station, "La Gare" signpost just ahead!

2) Continue straight on towards "La Celle".
3) At the "La Celle" sign, turn right towards "Le Génie" (be careful, you'll have to cross the main road!).

4) Continue towards "Bois des Chaux", then turn left towards "Bois du Trièves".

5) Follow the canal towards "Bois de l'Hote", cross the main road again (be careful!) and continue to follow the canal towards "Mailletère" on a pleasant path.

6) At "Mailletère", follow the track downhill and turn left to return to the "Le Réservoir" signpost.

7) All that remains is to return to "la gare" to get back to your starting point.
