To start the walk, head to the Frachettes car park after passing through the hamlet of Le Châtelard coming from Saint-Martin de Belleville.
(S) Head south-west, following the path marked with yellow signs. Follow this path through the forest downhill to the Encombres stream, ignoring the paths on the left.
(1) Cross the stream and climb up the opposite slope to quickly reach the old hamlet of Planlebon. The buildings are in ruins, but the chapel has been restored. There is a shelter where you can take refuge in case of rain.
(2) Continue south-west then south along the marked path running alongside the Encombres torrent valley. You will arrive at the confluence of the Moendaz and Encombres streams.
(3) Take the wooden footbridge and go up a stony path. At the first fork, turn left. At the second fork, take the path on the right towards the top of the hamlet of Les Priots.
(4) Continue along the path after Les Priots for about 400 metres (ignore the farm track on the left just after the hamlet of Les Priots, which continues as a path to the starting car park - possible return route).
(5) Follow a small tarmac road on the left.
(6) Take a shortcut on the left to avoid the two hairpin bends in the road. Cross the road once and, at the second junction, follow it to the right downhill to the starting car park (S/E).
