From the bend in the road after Finiels, take the tarmac road that climbs west/north-west. When you arrive at a first ridge, climb northwards through the forest until you arrive at Mallévrière forestry hut and take the path on the right. Leave it after 50 m and take the steep path up to the summit of Finiels. The entire climb is signposted and is part of the GR 70.
For the descent, follow the ridges eastwards and pass a small summit then a pass where you have to descend southwards to the D20. Follow the road to the car park in Finiels.
