From Combloux, follow the Route de la Cry, then the Route du Cuchet. Park at the Cuchet car park.
(S/E) From the car park, head towards the path next to the restaurant “Le Petit Cuchet”. Follow this path to the Beauregard chalet.
(1) Head west, leaving the Chemin du Jaillet on your left and taking the path that leads to the top station of the Beauregard chairlift.
(2) Still heading west, continue along the path to the left of the chairlift station. After a fairly steep climb, you’ll reach a fork in the path.
(3) Take the path on the right (signposted for snowshoeing and ski touring). After several hairpin bends, pass beneath the Croix des Salles and reach a crossroads.
(4) Turn right and make your way through the woodland towards another junction where several paths meet.
(5) Follow the sign for “Col du Jaillet” to the left and, on an almost flat path, reach the pass.
(6) Pass the Christomet path on your left and continue north-westwards to the start of the “Croisse Baulet” path.
(7) Take the path on the left. The climb up to the Petit Croisse Baulet begins through woodland, then the slope becomes steeper in open country. Climb one final steep section to reach the summit of the Petit Croisse Baulet.
(8) Head north to descend to the Col de l’Avenaz, following the ridge.
(9) Begin the ascent of the Grand Croisse Baulet, continuing to follow the ridge line. You’ll come to a fork in the path, known as “Sous Croisse Baulet”.
(10) Take the path on the left to complete the climb to the summit, where a 360° panorama awaits you.
(11) Enjoy the view of the Aravis to the west and the Mont Blanc massif to the east, before beginning the descent to the Col de l’Avenaz.
(9) Head left, towards the east, and follow a fairly narrow path towards the Avenaz chalets.
(12) At the chalets, turn right and follow a path that climbs after crossing two small streams. You’ll reach a junction (not shown on the IGN map).
(13) Take the path on the right, which gains altitude quite quickly. After crossing several more streams, rejoin the path heading towards the Col du Jaillet.
(7) Continue to the left to reach the pass.
(6) From the Col du Jaillet, head back to the junction at the foot of the Sommet des Salles.
(5) Unlike on the way up, take the left-hand path towards Le Pertuis.
(14) Turn right and head down to the Chalet de Beauregard.
(1) Follow the same route back as on the way there, returning to the Petit Cuchet and finally to the car park (S/E).
