3. At the bridge, the Pont des Albrands, take the forest track that leads uphill to the Col de la Pousterle
4. At the car park at the pass, follow the track running due east
5. After the Champ des Ans, at 1,541 m, take the path on the right: the start of a great single-track descent
6. When you come to the first houses in L'Argentière-la-Bessée, take the road on the left and then the road on the right to the next crossroads, which will bring you to the town centre
