At the start of a well defined wide car track to the right there is a yellow signpost to Le mole. The going is medium steep uphill through shrub and woodlandafter about 45 minutes turn steeply up to the left on to a wide forest track. This path windes in and out of the woodland as it zigzags up the mountain. Tracks branch of to the right which should be ignored. At the next T junction bear to the right and look out for the overhead cables which you should pass under. At the next T junction keep to the main path which bears to the left, cross a cattle fence and an alpine pasture. The Summit of Le Mole can be seen up on your right. Keep the ridge of firs on your left and follow the grassy path. The track becomes more defined as it winds up very steeply through scrub and raspberry bushes. There is a tough climb ahead, then the path turns to the right and you must ascend steeplyover open pasture to reach the summit marked with a cross.
