From the Nordic site at La Ruchère, head up along the toboggan run to begin the ascent along the new GR. At Cernay, turn left to reach a flat area and then a meadow. Continue straight ahead to reach the entrance to the meadow leading to the Col de l'Aliénar. The loop continues at the edge of the forest on your right as you come down from this pass (or on your left if you don't take the time to climb it).
You arrive at the Tracol and continue straight on to reach the superb Col de la Ruchère and its view of the 3 surrounding peaks. On the way back, turn right onto a wide track that leads back to Le Habert. Follow the road until you can turn left to climb back up through the meadow below the fireplace. A secret, intimate trail with unmissable views of the peaks.
