We did the circuit in reverse.
It is best to walk along the lake at the start to warm up, then climb to point 3 via the fairly rocky path, which is easier to climb than descend.
Return via a forest path from point 1 to the car park.

Thank you to the person who, on 14 October, gave a clear description of how to follow the route at the cut, between 2 and 3.
A beautiful walk, with no snow on 30 December, which was very pleasant, and a surprising view!
I recommend it

I had trouble finding my way at one point and understanding the map. Probably because of the work being done at point 2. Machinery is currently clearing this section between points 2 and 3, and one or two signs may have been knocked down. So the intersection at point 2 is the road that descends to the left towards the deforested area in the direction of the small hill. As we are on the side of a mountain, it is easy to find your bearings. I got a little lost trying to find the start of the Tour de Rochefort at point 4, but I think I covered everything. Once in the woods, it is well marked in yellow and green everywhere.
It's a very pleasant and varied hike, with woods, rocks and viewpoints. I recommend you don't miss the circular towards the hill. I highly recommend it!

A short, easy hike with little elevation gain that leads to a beautiful view.
Ideal for warming up at the start of the season

A pleasant walk in mid-November to a little-known peak, with magnificent views of Mont Rochefort, the
the Belledonne, the Bauges, and Mont Blanc, and then starting the descent to Lake Thuile. To be repeated.

A very beautiful walk
The area is virtually deserted, perfect for lovers of peace and nature :-)
Breathtaking views of Mont sur la Combe de Savoie, Les Belledonnes and a magnificent viewpoint over the lake.
The autumn colours are currently adding the finishing touches to this picture-postcard scene.

A pleasant route in summer as it is shaded almost the entire way.
Magnificent view at the summit.
However, be careful, as the first 10 metres back from the summit can be dangerous if the ground is wet (rocks).

The directions for taking the short circular route to Mont Rochefort (4) are not very clear. Be careful not to follow the signs for "Le Mont". Follow the signs for "Rochefort".
Superb view at the summit.

We took this short walk in frozen snow, with no particular difficulties, just fun for the children during the walk.
The icing on the cake was arriving to find a magnificent sea of clouds below us and a fantastic view of the Alps.
Beyond the walk, seeing this village, its lake and beautiful rock is a must.
