The start is between Praz-sur-Arly and Flumet. From the D1212, take the road heading north towards Le Parchet / La Touvière. Drive right to the top of the hamlet of Sciozier, up to the Fork in the road. There are few parking spaces here, but you can turn left and find a place to park at the start point (10) of the hike.
(S/E) Start the walk by heading uphill along the track to the right at the Fork in the road (north-north-east).
(1) Continue straight on. If you’re in a hurry, you can take a steep shortcut to the left.
(2) Stay on the track where the path forms a hollow. After crossing a stream, the climb resumes.
(3) Turn left shortly afterwards, staying on the track.
(4) Behind the Plan de l'Aar farm, find a path that climbs up the slope; this is the steepest section of the route.
(5) When you reach the ridge, turn left and head for the summit of Tête du Torraz, which is clearly visible.
(6) After enjoying the 360° view, continue straight on towards the south-west and begin the descent. Ignore the paths branching off to the side (these are, however, viable detours).
(7) At the fork in the path, ignore the two paths on the left. Look for a track that climbs south-east. A sign saying “Falaises” warns you, but there is no risk of vertigo or any real danger (however, keep a close eye on children and dogs). This section can be avoided entirely by continuing along the track.
(8) Lovely view over the Val d'Arly. Carry on and rejoin the track.
(9) Continue left along the track towards “Gâteau”. Alternative car park for the start of the hike.
(10) Continue left along the track, which takes a hairpin bend to the left (east) and leads back to the car park (S/E).
