From a fairly regular profile up to the larch wood of Lachamp, you will take a long descent which will lead you next to the Puy Renel to arrive at the hamlet of Chabannes (orientation table of Cheyla at a few hundred meters).
After the picturesque village of Oradour, you descend to the Malbec stream.
Then, a small steep slope leads you to the hamlet of Falitoux before starting a very steep descent that will take you through the charming village of Sainte-Marie and end at the Pont de Tréboul.
