Park in the hamlet of Novallay, where there are a few spaces in a small car park.
(S/E) Continue along the tarmac road until you reach the sign for Crève-Tête. Then follow the paved slanting street (sloping, paved or stony path) to the right, turn left after about 150m and you will reach a crossroads.
(1) Continue straight ahead on the paved slanting street (you will return via the path on the right). The paved slanting street ends and gradually gives way to a trail that climbs towards the Col du Gollet.
(2) Take the path on the right that climbs through the meadows to Col du Gollet (ignore all the paths on the left).
(3) At the pass (below Valmorel resort), turn right and head towards the Gollet ski lift arrival point. Then follow the path on the right which climbs towards Crève-Tête. A steep, winding climb takes you to the summit (magnificent views and a beautiful summit cross).
(4) Take the ridge path to the north, which crosses the Crève-Tête pastures. It descends gradually to the intersection that leads back to Valmorel on the left and Novallay on the right.
(5) Turn right towards Novallay. The path descends through meadows and then forest until it joins a track (the descent can be tricky in places).
(6) Follow the track south-southwest, then the path that leads gently towards Novallay.
(7) At this fork, take the path on the right (the one on the left goes directly to Novallay).
(1) At the intersection, turn left onto the paved slanting street, then turn right. At the road, turn left to reach the car park (S/E).
