Description of the walk

Head south-east on the large path (Alta Via 2), cross the river and enter the forest (S).

After a pleasant uphill hike and still following the notable n°2 Yellow triangle waymarks you'll reach l'Entrelor alpine pastures (1).

Go through the pastures reaching Plan de Feyes chalets (2).
Start a long but pleasant hike up reaching Col de l'Entrelor after a few final sharp turns (3).

Head down to Valgrisenche first along Lac Nero then Lac Djuan (4).

Keep heading downhill due north-east, then north and go through Chamoulanaz alpine pasture (5).
Still heading north, you'll reach Orvieille where you'll change direction heading east then south-east with several twists and turns (6). You'll arrive at Eaux Rousses and Paradisio Hotel (8), the end of this stage.
