Description

From the car park, return towards the village. Take the rue "Lou pas" opposite, then turn right onto the rue du Four. Pass under the old castle and join the road to the Col de St Jurs. Take the marked path opposite and quickly join the road. Follow it for 500 m. Climb up the marked route for another 2 km, alternating between walking on the path through the undergrowth and passages on the small road to the pass. After a final road crossing, join the path at a crossroads of marked routes. Leave the access to the Col de St Jurs on the left and continue straight on to the pass where the path starts up to the summit of Agra.

The path quickly enters a rocky defile (a little steep but no particular difficulty) then continues the path in bends to the crest of the Agra. In the middle of the box trees reach the summit.

Head back towards the summit of Montdenier and go down the path between the rocks to the woods. Turn left onto the path and go down in bends, under the pines, to the track. Take the opposite path. The route goes off to the left, crosses a valley and joins the Levens track. Return, on the left, to the Col de St Jurs. Then take the path on the left 150m after the car park and go back down to the village.
