The start of the itinerary is marked by summer pastures. Then, we follow a pilgrimage path punctuated by an altar and calvaries. We enjoy very beautiful views of the valley carved by the streams of Roches-Charles and Sault which meet.

1 - On the plateau (point of view) progress due west in the meadows. Cross two other fences (viewpoint) and reach an information panel to discover the Roches-Charles site. Go down the path and then take a wide path on the left towards the chapel, until you reach a stone altar set in a clearing.

2 - Take the right track (Way of the Cross) which goes up to the cemetery and chapel of Roche-Charles. Turn around and return to point 2 by the same path. Go up on the plateau by the right track (crossing several fences) and continue by a path slightly marked on the hillside until the edge of the plateau.

3 - On the plateau, walk along the fence (view of the Puys chain, the Sancy massif, the Cézallier mountains). Join a rural road, take it to the right and go to the road that leads back to Boslabert on the left along a wind farm.
