Park at the Hauteville-sur-Fier cemetery. Near the rubbish bins, opposite the cemetery, you will find a map of the route, which is clearly marked with yellow arrows on a green background and, in some places, signs saying "Circuit des Onges".
(S/E) Head east along the D14 (Route d'Annecy). After a few dozen metres, turn right onto Chemin du Vernay and leave the recycling bins on your right. Cross the housing estate, ignoring the turnings on the left.
(1) Just before the castle, turn left onto Chemin du Pont Quatre. The tarmac quickly gives way to a gravel path between the fields (follow the green arrow). After about 700 m, take thefirst path on the left (green arrow). Just before the place called Chez Pitton, turn right (east) onto a flat path between the fields. At the crossroads (elevation 369), go straight ahead and enter a wood. Cross a small bridge over a stream and climb up to join a wide path.
(2) Follow the path to the left and climb gently, partly under the trees. In open terrain, pass under a high-voltage power line and continue north-east. At the end of the path, turn left and pass a small chapel on your right. You will come out onto the D14.
(3) Follow the road to the right. After about 50 metres, take a small passage on the left side of the road to enter a meadow (private property: please respect the premises).
Go down a path that veers to the left. Join a track and follow it to the right uphill through the trees.
(4) At the first crossroads, turn left. Walk up a small valley heading north-west. At the top, at a T-junction, turn left. At the first houses, continue along a tarmac road.
(5) At the Belossy cross, turn right towards La Crosta. At the triangular junction, continue straight on the D3. At the fork that appears immediately, take a path on the left just before a large farm (green arrow).
(6) At the next fork, turn right onto a path not shown on the IGN map. Climb up and follow a recently marked grassy path between the fields (it may be slippery). Walk along a wood on your left and continue north-east.
(7) When you reach the first houses, turn right (green arrow). Go around a copse on the left. At the end of the path (sports field on the right), turn left and pass the town hall on the right. You will come to a road; follow it to the right and you will immediately reach a crossroads (church on the right).
(8) Turn left onto the main road towards Annecy. Pass a restaurant and, after about 100 metres, take a path on the left between two houses. This will take you up to the heights of Vaulx. At the cross, turn left onto a tarmac road and follow the signs for "Jardins secrets". Take thefirst left, a small tarmac road between the houses, which quickly turns into a dirt track that descends between the fields.
(9) At a fork, take the right-hand path (not shown on the IGN map). Descend between the fields. Pass under a high-voltage power line and reach the small hamlet of Les Contamines. Follow the small road on the left.
(10) Cross Route d'Hauteville and continue straight ahead on the path opposite. At the crossroads (elevation 465), turn right following the green arrow towards Les Onges. Descend along the edge of the woods and the field (slippery ground in wet weather). This will take you to the hamlet of Les Onges.
(11) At the crossroads, follow the road to the left. After about 100 metres, past the communal oven, take a small dirt track that runs alongside the stream (not shown on the map). This will take you to the cemetery (S/E).
