Take the old tarmacked road, which is closed to traffic, to the right of the inn, going up to La Figulière Peak. Keep to the path on the left. To admire the view of the village of Entraunes, follow the ridge on the left.
Return and continue along the road to the big pylon, around 400 m away.
From there, you overlook the entire municipality of Saint-Martin-d'Entraunes.
From the pylon, follow the path to the Chapel of St. Barnaby and the plateau overlooking it to the north (picnic tables). Go back up this plateau to reach the road you started from.
Go back the way you came.
