Above the car park take the path uphill with stunning views. A long crossing with views amidst summer pastures dotted with pine trees leading to a valley. Before the mountain pass, go right up the path that makes its way through boulders. Continue the crossing, on the Spanish side and at the foot of the Arlas, take the right-hand path. At the Col de Pescamou, cross the South South West plateau to reach the Col de Boticotch (266 boundary marker).
