The starting point is about 1.5 km after the sign for Col des Prés coming from Aillon. Park along the road.
(S/E) Look for a track that joins the road (signposted Pointe de la Galoppaz).
Follow this track for about 600 m until you reach a junction.
(1) Turn left: sign for Pointe de la Galoppaz (the track on the right will be the return route). Continue for 500 m on the track and shortly after the Chalet de l'Allier, leave it and turn right onto a path.
(2) This path winds its way up through the forest and comes out onto a flat area (fence).
(3) Follow the path south and arrive at the Chalet de la Buffaz.
Continue south towards the Col de la Buffaz.
(4) The path then climbs through pastures to another fence, which you cross.
(5) Here, you have two options: (see Practical information). Turn left and follow the ridge (unobstructed view...). This also leads to the summit pasture.
(6) Turn right and easily reach the Pointe, and return, by climbing a small hill and a ridge about a hundred metres long.
(7) Retrace your steps and descend the small hill.
(6) Turn right onto the grassy slope. Follow a direct trail to the bottom of the slope.
(8) A well-marked path branches off to the right, but this is not the right one! Continue to the flat area near the forest, where a faint trail begins on the right. It becomes more distinct and is the correct path
A gate allows you to cross a fence, then after two hairpin bends, a first path branches off to the left. Continue straight ahead (the path you are following is not shown on the IGN map) and after a few hundred metres, a second path descends towards Thoiry: continue straight ahead. You will reach the Col de Combe Servenne, where you will join theGR®® de pays.
(9) Follow this trail to the right, which takes you onto a wide track heading north-east.
(10) At an altitude of 1,205 metres, a rockfall borders the track. TheGR®® then leaves the wide track and follows a path on the left that is cluttered with rocks... It quickly becomes more passable and widens into a track. This leads to the initial intersection.
(1) Follow the track to the left to the car park (S/E).
