Description of the route by the creator

Park at the parking lot at the end of the road. The path begins across the field, continuing in the direction of the road. Continue straight ahead to reach the signs for Col de Pertuis. Once you've reached the pass, turn left and pass the chalet du Pertuis, where the path continues through the woods. There are no signs, but ground markings on the rocks indicate the direction to follow. Be careful, there are several slippery lapiaz passages. The final climb to the Signal follows the edge of the cliff. For the return, either continue along the cliff (but longer) or return along the same path, following the blue markings. It's easy to get lost, so follow the signs on the ground or on the trail.
