It is almost a suburban walk, not too busy during the week.
And yet you are already in the Bauges with its characteristic buildings.
From the start to the waterfall, you are on theGR®96.
Then, from the pass to the ridge trail via Mont Peney, you are on the GRP®.

Departure from Les Déserts (Savoie)
A short but very interesting hike featuring a continuous steep slope and no easy sections. Undertaken in late October: ice and light snow in the chimney and freezing fog at the summit. Exit the forest to the foot of the cliff and walk up an unstable scree slope. Passage across the cliff is well-cabled and sheathed in plastic (slippery grip with gloves but very comfortable bare-handed in summer). Hike not recommended for young children.
