Along the forest road, with vehicles passing frequently.
But the route is shaded for most of the way.
Long but easy hike.

Indeed, it's difficult to go wrong on a clear day...
Not recommended for those who dislike anything that isn't "on foot" on their route. The trail is used by paragliders who can't be bothered to walk up, farmers who have the cheese dairy, off-road motorbikes, and I suppose the owners of the chalets on the mountain pasture. But it's still acceptable and respectful on everyone's part. The mountain pasture at La Croix is very pleasant, and the climb to Plan de la Limace is a bonus that requires little effort.

Obvious route but a bit tedious as you are constantly on a wide forest road. Beautiful view from the summit. Climbed
to PLAN DE LA LIMACE , unfortunately foggy, temperature 17°C

Hike done in the direction indicated but with the variation via the path that descends towards Le Coudray for the return. The path to rejoin the starting track is well marked on the right about 600 m before Le Coudray.
The magnificent view at Croix d'Allant makes you forget the somewhat tedious climb up the track.
And for cheese lovers, the sheep farm located along the path just at the fork leading to Croix d'Allant produces excellent summer Gruyère and Tome cheeses, adding a pleasant gastronomic touch.

I set off from Le Coudray (920m) rather than Précherel. The route is straightforward but a little tedious as you are constantly on a wide forest road. Beautiful view from the summit.
On the way back, I took the descent towards Précherel and turned left at around 1,200m (wooden sign). The path was muddy in places despite the dry weather, but I rejoined the ascent route at the 1,049m sign.

Nothing to say about the climb to the cross
For the return trip, we preferred to go back via Pongieu and, before reaching Coudray, climb (steeply: 150 m) to find the end of the uphill route, just for a change of pace.

Alternative route for the return journey: head towards Coudray until you reach an altitude of 1,040 metres. Follow the sign for Chemin Bois du Replat. You will need to climb 120 metres before descending towards Jarsy.

This detour allows you to discover several small hamlets.
