Mont Ros dèsot, from Bellecombe

Access

At the motorway exit of Châtillon, turn left and proceed towards the village centre until you reach a first crossroads where you turn left again. Follow first Via Barrat then the Avenue de la Station as far as the subway over the railway line, then turn left again onto the communal road to Bellecombe. Go up the little communal road, passing the characteristic village of Ussel, known for its medieval castle, and continue on the impervious little road through the chestnut trees to the village of Bellecombe. At your destination, you will find a large car park in front of the chapel of Saint Anne.
