Coming from Saint-Nicolas-la-Chapelle, park at the entrance to the village in the few parking spaces on the right-hand side of the road, just before the first junction.
(S/E) Take the road that climbs to the left and leads to the houses, heading towards Croix Stata.
At thesecond bend at Les Rosets, continue climbing to the left towards Peloset and the Croix Stata.
Continue along the road between the chalets until you reach a very sharp bend.
(1) Here, a warning to exercise caution is clearly signposted and the hiker assumes full responsibility. Turn right onto the slope heading due north, following the track towards Peloset. The climb is moderately steep and fairly steady. After the first 7 hairpin bends, the track climbs in an almost straight line towards the north-west before continuing with a further series of 6 hairpin bends. Finally, the track heads north again to reach Peloset.
(2) Turn 90° to the right towards the Croix de Stata. After about a hundred metres heading south-southeast, it comes into view. The slope becomes steeper as you approach it, and you will then find yourself facing the Mont Blanc massif.
(3) Take care not to approach the ledge. Descend a few metres and head north-east towards the Croix Cartier. The tracks are not all identical but all lead to the junction known as Sous la Croix.
(4) Continue climbing eastwards for about a hundred metres to reach the Croix Cartier and enjoy a 360° panoramic view from here.
(5) Retrace your steps back to the Sous la Croix crossroads.
(4) Turn left towards Les Carrés. Cross the forest on a winding descent down the mountainside. As you emerge from the woods, you will soon reach the Les Carrés crossroads.
(6) Turn 180° to the right, heading due west, onto the track, and you’ll soon reach the junction of route no. 20, marked in purple.
(7) Leave the track and head down to the left across the meadows, following the purple markers. You will then reach the Chaucisse car park (S/E).
