Description of the route by the creator

Park at the Comburce parking lot at the end of the road in Manigod. The path is well signposted up to the fork in the road. Turn right first to go over the ridge. You can continue straight on to the summit, where the path is easier and less steep. Once you've reached the top of L'Etale, take the main path back down to the parking lot. WARNING: the path along the ridge is vertiginous, and should only be used by experienced hikers.
