Follow the blue circles for about 1,5 km before reaching the intersection which will invite you to go towards the source of the Durbion on your left. You are in the communal forest of Dompierre. After passing the Saint-Christophe cross, turn right twice, still following the blue circles. Then, you have the option of going to the source of the Durbion by following the red circles. The round trip will take you about fifteen minutes and you will be able to appreciate the Roche d'Aurichapelle at the same time.
When you are back on the blue circle circuit, continue for 500 m before arriving at the Boursier cross. (Possibility of going to the Boursier shelter if the weather is unpredictable).
About 1 km further, you are invited to turn right (direction Viménil green circle). Then you arrive at an intersection where you must turn left. 250 m further, the markings indicate that you should turn right onto a narrower path that goes down.
You arrive at a new intersection which has a wide path that you take on the right, then a few meters further, turn left towards the Sainte Marie source. After a climb, you arrive again on a wide path that you take on the right. Continue on this same path which climbs until you find the crossroads at the start of the loop. Take the path on the left which allows you to return to the high glass roof and your vehicle for about 1,5 km.
