The first section is very calm, alternating between forest track and paths – ideal for enjoying the panoramic views. 
Then a short steep part on a path to reach the summit of Finiels (1,699 metres, the highest point in Lozère). Finally a pleasant descent on “the path less travelled” through forest and pastureland.

Follow the waymarks for #17v.
