Continue on the track, which climbs slightly towards the pas de Colle Ardente. At the intersection, you have two options: either follow the forest track to the right of the oratory, or take the track to the left. If you choose the right-hand track, a short climb to the right will bring you back to the main track at marker 271, leading to the pas de Colle Ardente.
    From here, continue to follow the track downhill towards the Baisse de Sanson. The track is uneven with pebbles, stones and slight steps, and motorized vehicles can sometimes be encountered. This is undoubtedly the most difficult section, but towards the finish, the trail improves, offering a superb panorama at the Pas du Tanarel.
    At the drop of Sanson, you reach the border between France and Italy. A magnificent panorama stretches over the mountains of the Ligurian Alps and the Mediterranean coast. Take the track downhill for about 4 kilometers.
    Follow the track to Col Linaire, then to the Pinet summit. At this point (~1450 m.), the track descends through the Pinet forest to a hairpin bend (~1000 m.) where you'll enjoy a spectacular view of the village of La Brigue.
    Continue downhill on the main track alongside the Notre Dame des Fontaines chapel (~870 m.), then follow the road to the Boseille bridge. Finally, you arrive at the Place Saint Martin in the village of La Brigue (~765 m.), the finishing point of this stage.
