A fairly strenuous and straightforward hike, the ascent of Le Jocou nevertheless rewards the courageous hiker with a superb panorama at the summit. In June, July and August, it's not uncommon to come across a flock of sheep accompanied by their shepherd grazing in the valley where the Jocou alpine ski resort once stood. The ski lift hut and some of the anchor points for the pylons can be found near the departure point.
Guidebook with maps/step-by-stepDeparture : Drive to the Bergerie du Jocou parking lot, accessible by a small road from the top of the Col de Lus la Croix-Haute.
Start from the "Bergerie du Jocou" signpost.
1) Follow the signs for "Le vieux jas", taking the track which rises quickly into the pretty valley on the left, opposite the summit of Le Jocou.
2) From the "Le vieux jas" signpost, follow the signs for "Crête de l'archat" along a path that heads due north on the right. This path turns slightly to the left and then forks due north. Be sure to follow the stakes installed in the alpine pasture to follow the path. This route avoids the ewes' main stubble area and respects pastoral activities.
Continue climbing northwards almost to the ridge, then turn left towards the rocky bar. This is easily crossed by following the path.
3) Continue along the ridge (watch out for yellow markings). The difficulty is still high until you (finally) reach the "Crête de l'archat" signpost. Watch out for chamois on the slopes of the ravin de l'archat.
4) From the "Crête de l'archat" post, head due south along the ridge towards "Le Jocou" to reach the summit.
Return by the same route.
All year round.
