At La Planche, there is a car park on the left after the bridge, a few dozen metres from the start.
(S/E) At La Planche, there is a marked path (sign) that branches off to the right (east). Follow this path, which runs alongside the Ruisseau de Settaz stream, to the Moulin de la Settaz mill.
(1). Cross the stream and follow it north towards the Chalet des Combes. Go around this chalet to the north. The slope becomes a little steeper and turns east. Continue on this path until you reach the junction with the path coming from the right, from Lac du Loup and Taramur.
(2). Turn left heading north to reach the main road.
(3). Follow this road to the left until you reach the Sainte-Marguerite Chapel.
(4) The path on the left takes you directly back down to La Perrière.
For the long route: continue along the road, which turns into a track, still heading north. Pass close to the Chalets des Reys until you reach a place called La Grolle (sign and viewpoint at 1,800 m). Take the track on the right to reach the Chalets de la Grolle.
(5). A little further up, you will see a wooden cross on a high point. Head towards it for a magnificent view, particularly of the Col de la Madeleine and Saint-François-Longchamp.
(6) Take the track again to reach the start of the ridge line that leads to Le Paradis.
(7) Continue to the place known as Le Paradis.
(8) Descend this slope (south-east) until you reach a path.
(9) Continue south until you reach the path that descends from the chapel; short circular.
(10) Follow it to the hamlet of La Perrière and take the road that will take you to Les Bigots and then back to your starting point, "La Planche" (S/E).
