After the first kilometre, which is identical to trail #15, this trail forks east onto the path that goes downhill to Lozeret. From there, a pleasant path between forest and pasture takes you the rest of the way down to Cubières. You then start to climb through the forest, on a path for the first 3 kilometres and then on a track for the next 5. These 8 km of continuous uphill with 650 m of elevation gain take you to the Col de Finiels pass. The magnificent views are ample reward for your efforts. You climb a few more metres towards the summit so as to enjoy the panoramic views, then fork onto the GR®70, which leads back to the Station.
