The start of this hike is at the Cry car park (Combloux ski area).
(S/E) From the car park, head towards the snow play area to the left of the Mabboux sports shop. Make your way to the bottom station of the Beauregard chairlift, passing between the Brons chairlift and the restaurant ‘Chez Albert’.
(1) Follow the footpath/snowshoe trail that runs alongside the Beauregard chairlift. Turn right, heading west, then north; pass under the lower station of the Perthuis chairlift and continue to a Y-junction near a chalet.
(2) Take the path on the left (signposted ‘Le Bâchais’). Head north-west until you reach a signpost marked ‘Raquettes’.
(3) Leave the Le Bâchais path on your left and enter the forest onto the circular snowshoe path (Les Montavus). Follow the signposts carefully as far as Les Lovatières.
(4) At the ‘Raquettes’ signpost, turn sharply westwards and follow the ‘Granges’ circular loop. Pass the Mouilles Fleuries chalets to reach a junction.
(5) Ignore the path on the left which climbs towards the Col du Jaillet and take the path on the right which descends towards Les Granges. Continue to the ‘Les Granges’ signpost just before two chalets.
(6) Do not follow this route; instead, turn right onto the path leading to Les Montavus. Walk through the Bois des Tours. Enjoy the magnificent view of Mont Blanc as you emerge from the woods, just before the Montavus chalet.
(7) At the Montavus junction, carry on straight ahead towards La Grangeat. Head eastwards until you reach a small road at a bend.
(8) Turn right and follow the road for about fifty metres southwards. Turn right, following the sign for Les Seugets.
(9) Head south towards Route du Vernay. At Les Granges, you’ll come to a Fork in the road.
(10) Take the right-hand path, the Chemin des Granges-Est, and you’ll come to a junction where it crosses the path you took on the way there.
(2) From here, return to the Cry car park via the same route (S/E).
