Park in the large car park at the edge of Lac du Vallon.
(S/E) Walk along the left bank of the lake. Cross the Ruisseau de la Diomaz to reach the Chapelle Saint-Bruno.
(1) Take the path on the right that runs alongside this stream, pass the Croix des Chartreux and arrive at the stream ford.
(2) Cross and join the logging track leading to Les Gouilles.
(3) Follow this for a few metres before taking a path that branches off to the left. You will come to another wide logging track.
(4) Climb gently, turn left at the first crossroads to arrive above La Bray and its mountain pasture. Continue to La Léchère.
(5) Take a wide, less well-maintained path on the left towards Les Bétets and you will arrive at its chalets.
(6) Climb towards the Col des Bétets. Take a short break at the pass to admire the mountain pasture below.
(7) Continue along the path towards Tête des Follys, staying as close to the ridge as possible. Turn left at the crossroads; the path is more or less well maintained, blocked by fallen trees or other obstacles but passable. You will arrive at Tête des Follys.
(8) We turn left and follow the ridge, sometimes through the woods, sometimes in the open with superb views of the mountain pastures and the lake, heading towards Tête au Moine, which we then reach.
(9) Turn right downhill onto a path that may be slippery depending on the weather conditions of the previous days. It is sometimes marked with yellow paint on the trees, but following it is not too difficult. You will arrive at the crossroads of a wide road.
(10) Turn right, then left at the next bend, following a more pedestrian track. Walk along the right bank of the Ruisseau de Bellecombe stream.
::11: Cross the Brevon and you will arrive at La Chèvrerie.
