Start from the Nant Fourchu stream car park at the end of the road (École en Bauges).
(S/E) 50 m after the car park, take the path branching off to the right. A footbridge allows you to cross the Chéran. Follow the shaded path; even on very hot days, it remains relatively cool! It leads into the Combaz Fort valley.
(1) Continue along the balcony path which runs horizontally. When it enters the forest, you reach a junction.
(2) Turn sharply right to reach the Pointe de Fougère at an altitude of 1,849m.
The climb is steep but well worth the effort (magnificent views). Take care when you reach the vicinity of the summit, as the eastern slope is steep.
(3) From Pointe de la Fougère, descend via the ascent route to the fork
(2) Leave the route you took on the way up to the left and continue down the slope. You will then reach another junction on the Col de la Fougère path.
(4) Turn left. At the first hairpin bend, the path leads past an ONF hut (not shown on the map). The descent continues without difficulty via numerous hairpin bends.
(5) The path joins a wide track which you should follow to the left. This in turn leads onto the tarmac road, which you take to the left; it quickly leads back to the starting point (S/E).
