Le départ de cette montée débute au lieu-dit : La maison rouge . On prend la direction de la Côte de Pignou ( Commune d'Albepierre Bredons ) avec des pourcentages de 6 à 7 ％ . Puis ensuite on se dirige vers Laveissenet ( vue sur le massif du Plomb du Cantal ) . La montée entre Laveissenet et Toursou est pas aisée mais le final vers le Ché se fait sans difficultés .
