    Departure from La Brigue, direction the hamlet of Morignole following the eponymous road. Successively pass the Pont du Coq, the lime kiln, the old mill and follow the direction of Morignole. Continue on the road then cross the hamlet following a climb. Pass the car park, follow the road just after and turn right, the road becomes a dirt / gravel / pebble track. Head down the Ugail, with a nice climb over several kilometres. At the end of Ugai (beacon 300) you can enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains. Continue after the beacon following the track. Pass several valleys and collars on the track, you will arrive in front of a barrier blocking access to motor vehicles (beacon 310). Continue past the barrier and follow the track to the left at the following hairpin (towards beacon 309). Here you are in front of a superb panorama: the Rochers de la Servia. Watch out for the vertiginous peak! In the distance you can see the village of Tende. Opposite stands a rather surprising geological formation; it is the Castel Tournou. Then follow the track that descends towards Castel Tournou. At the bottom of the valley, cross the Refreï on a wooden bridge (beacon 316). Continue on the track that goes up to beacon 317 indicating Castel Tournou; you have arrived ! Return by the way of arrival.
