(S) From the Cabane du Vieux Emosson, head to the shore of Lac du Vieux Emosson and take the dam wall on the left. Follow the path along the lake, then take a steep climb on the left and continue to a crossroads with a sign.
(1) Follow the signs for Les Empruntes and Le Cheval Blanc. Pass the site of the footprints and continue to the junction at the Col du Vieux Emosson, where there is also a signpost.
(2) Continue along the path and, after a steep climb with some sections secured by cables, you will reach the north-east summit of Cheval Blanc.
(3) Continue along the long, relatively easy ridge, pass under the power line and Pointe Génévier, and join the steep, clearly visible section of the Buet ridge. You will reach a tricky passage.
(4) Be careful, this difficult passage is equipped with handrails and is rated T4. Follow the path using the cables and finally reach the large cairn at the end of this passage.
(5) Continue along the long ridge and you will easily reach the summit of Buet.
(6) Head right onto the south-west ridge, pass a stone shelter and reach the clearly visible radio antennas.
(7) Follow the path downhill to the left, away from the ridge, and reach the Col de Salenton.
(8) Continue left on the path marked in yellow. Cross a tricky rocky section, following the yellow markers very closely. This will take you to the end of the rocky section.
(9) Continue along a steep path. You will reach the Refuge de la Pierre à Bérard, today's destination (E).
