From Seyne-les-Alpes (6 km), take the D207 towards Montclar, then the D607 to Saint-Pons, where you follow the Col-Bas forest track (open from May to October). Car park at the crossroads of the road and tracks near the Maison Forestière.

Maison Forestière de Bellevue - At the crossroads with the Maison Forestière, take the path that climbs up from the top of the crossroads on the right-hand side of the road and into the forest. It alternates between several large hairpins and gradually climbs between the larches to reach a crossroads.
La Chaumasse - Follow the GR®6 and GR®69 uphill towards the Col de Bernardez. The path gradually leaves the forest and crosses some scree.
Col de Bernardez - At the col, head directly left along the ridge towards the peak, following a path that is sometimes lightly marked and uneven to reach the summit. Switch to the other side and descend towards the Pic de Savernes, which you must skirt to the left. Reach the Col Bas without going over the summit.
Col Bas - At Col Bas, take the track on the left down towards Seyne les Alpes. After 1 km, reach a bend in the track.
Take the path on the outside of the bend in the track. It becomes narrow and descends in a series of small, sometimes slippery, banked bends. Reach point 2 and then descend along the GR® to the start car park.
