(S/E) From the Col de la Croix de Fer, head down the path that runs just below the road towards the Col du Glandon, going round the chalets on the right.
(1) Head back up to the road, cross it and pass under the chairlift. Immediately take the lovely track that climbs alongside the Longe Combe stream to reach the Col de Bellard without difficulty in about forty minutes.
(2) From the pass, head left up to the top of a small hillock to enjoy a wider view.
(3) Return to the pass.
(2) Tackle the steep climb towards the Croix de l’Ouillon (south-east). Cross the junction of paths at the Passage de l’Ouillon.
(4) Keep the route to the Col de La Croix de Fer on your right and continue climbing straight ahead towards the Croix de l’Ouillon. A final climb takes you to the Croix de l’Ouillon, which has been visible for some time now.
(5) From the cross, pass beneath the chairlift line and, further down, join a path coming from the Passage de l’Ouillon (it is also possible to return to the passage in question and take a well-marked path towards the Col de la Croix de Fer).
(6) Follow this path downwards (south-west), which includes a few steep sections, passing under the chairlift once more and then on to the Truchet barns.
(7) Continue to the right to reach the Col de la Croix de Fer.
Note: After the Truchet barns, let a path branch off to the left which descends to Saint-Sorlin-d’Arves.
Once you reach the pass, you can take a short detour to the memorial stone overlooking the Col de la Croix de Fer.
(8) Head to the pass and the car park (S/E).
