As other hikers have pointed out, follow the blue circles in the first part of the route, but then follow the GPS track because the markings are missing or the path is overgrown with brambles... Pretty boundary stone with beautiful blue lilies nearby at Col des Chevrères. Recent clearing provides a beautiful view of the Milles étangs. Several decorated birdhouses along the route and the famous Courchevel cabin as you approach the finish... Parking available before the village sign.

Follow the signs as the GPX track is not entirely accurate. There is a change in the track towards the end. Superb views of the valley.

A very beautiful walk along trails that are still partially covered in snow. Follow the route in the recommended direction to avoid a very steep climb towards the end of the trail after the Chevrère pass. The route on the map and the GPS track are "average" because many small changes have been made to the route, probably due to extensive logging and timber hauling. If in doubt, follow the blue round markings, which are consistent. I quite agree with Jef70 about the section of forest track that has been ruined by machinery.

Beautiful route in the first part up to the Col de Chevrère, especially due to the logging of fir trees infected by bark beetles. However, I took a small detour by continuing on the GR 59, which allows you to pass by the boundary marker known as Royale Louis XV.
After the Col de Chevrère on the dominant side, the route is interesting because of the view over the Plateau des Mille Etangs, but then it loses its appeal because the forest path is often damaged by forestry machinery (where are the days when they were required to repair the paths?) and not maintained, with uprooted trees and piles of branches...
The walk through the well-maintained village is pleasant.
A GPS device is a great help on this walk, as the last part is not signposted.

Superb walk.
Beautiful views at the start of the walk.
Crossing the village at the end of the walk was really pleasant.
Worth doing again!

From the Col des Chevréres, point 3, the path is in very poor condition (forestry work). Between points 5 and 6, at one point there is no path (fir trees have been cut down) and I couldn't find the markings.

A nice little hike to occupy an afternoon without having to worry about maps and explanations. Well marked throughout the route.
From the Col des Chevrères, the path is difficult to follow due to the large-scale harvesting of diseased fir trees. On the other hand, it offers beautiful views of the Plateau des Mille Étangs.
