(S) From the Hôtel de la Cascade, head west on the main road to the nearby post office. Take the path on the left to reach the Alte Kirchegasse. Ignore the first bridge over the stream and continue on the Furliweg, staying on the right bank of the Jaunbach. You will reach another bridge.
(1) Cross over to the other bank of the Jaunbach and find another bridge.
(2) Return to the right bank of the Jaunbach and cross the stream again as you enter the village of Im Fang. Join the Jaun Pass road in the centre of the village
(3) Heading west, continue along this road for a few metres and cross the Jaunbach once more. On the Sportpaltz Weg, follow the Jaunbach. Change banks at the Hinteri Weid path. Continue along the edge of the stream to a gravel pit at a place called Le Brésil.
(4) Shortly after this quarry, change banks and return to the Fornys chalet.
Note: This is the point where German-speaking Switzerland ends and French-speaking Switzerland begins. As a result, the Jaunbach is now called the Jogne.
(5) Stay on trail No. 3, follow the Jogne, alternating between the right and left banks, until you reach a bridge in front of another gravel pit at a place called Sous les Vanels.
(6) Head north, taking the Forêt de l'Ermitage trail to reach the Route des Arses.

(9) Take the footbridge over Lake Montsalvens and continue along the Jogne to the Monsalvens dam
(10) At the dam, follow the signs for Gorges de la Jogne. This route features stairs, footbridges, small wooden bridges and tunnels. Gradually leave the Jogne river behind and you will come out onto the Montsalvens road at Broc Fabrique, Chocolaterie Cailler.
(11) Take Rue de Montsalvens to the junction with Route du Pessot.
Turn left onto Route du Pessot, then immediately turn right onto Rue de Forcel. At the end of this street, after a small car park on the left, walk along a field on Rue du Tir and then Impasse du Belvedère. Look for a sign indicating the Notre-Dame des Marches chapel.

(14) Cross this sheltered bridge to the other bank of the Sarine. Follow the Pont road, which curves in an arc, until you reach the Intyamon road.
(15) Cross the road and, directly opposite, take the steps and then a good path to climb up to Gruyères Castle.
(16) From the west gate of the castle, descend towards the village of Gruyères and head for the Hôtel de la Fleur de Lys, at the other end of the village, which is today's stopover. (E)
