Park in the small car park at the end of the access road to the hamlet of Les Bergonnes.
(S/E) Walk about thirty metres along the road, turn left then immediately right onto a wide dirt track leading to the Croix des Terments.
(1) Continue to the left, then, about a hundred metres further on, take a narrower path on the right. Then turn left to come out at the bottom of a meadow. Follow the signs for “panorama”.
(2) Turn left to climb towards the Beauregard site and its splendid view of the Mont Blanc massif.
(3) A picnic is perfectly possible here and even recommended. Then head back down the meadow.
(2) Here, things get a bit tricky – or rather, interesting. Leave the path you took on the way up and head straight south-southeast, zigzagging through a series of clearings. Join a wide dirt track and turn left, following it for about 200 metres as you pass under the high-voltage power lines.
(4) Leave the track and head right, towards the south-east. Skirt the edge of a small copse and keep left. Cross a barely marked signposted path to reach, at the bottom of the valley, the lovely “Tour du Valromey” path (double signpostedGR®® –GRP®®), which you take on the right. After a fairly straight stretch, this path
takes a sharp right-hand bend followed by a second left-hand bend.
(5) About a hundred metres further on, turn right and continue uphill to a T-junction.
(6) Turn right and continue for about 300 metres.
(7) Then leave the path, turn left at a right angle to climb to the edge of the clearing or slightly into the planted pine forest to cross the hill and reach Combe Danoi. From there, turn right and head north-north-west, following the cattle track or not, the aim being to reach the bottom of the valley. You’re free to go!
Don’t miss the karst depression resulting from the collapse of a cave ceiling following the flow of springs. The valley contains many such sinkholes.
Geologists who accompanied me on this hike explained that the valley, in its entirety, is a complex and extensive collapse.
Continue until you come to a grassy path, which you should take to the left.
(8) Leave the path by turning left to join another, well-marked path (GRP®® Tour du Valromey), which you follow to the left. At the next junction, turn right, passing under the power lines, and continue to the second clearing.
(9) Leave this wide path again to turn right and climb through a series of clearings heading north until you reach the edge of the woodland.
(10) Head right, then immediately left, following the contour line, and finally reach the path taken at the very start. Turn left to quickly return to the car park (S/E).
