The starting point for this stage is Place de l'Église - Hôtel Grand Chalet Favre.
Yellow signposting
(S) From the hotel, take the stairs leading to Rue du Vieux Village. Turn right and, at the sports shop, look for a narrow street on the left with a multi-directional sign.
(1) Head towards Chalet Blanc de Roua. Quickly leave Saint-Luc via Sentier du Crêt, which is a steep uphill path. Pass under the Tignousa funicular railway tracks and you will come to a fork with a sign.
(2) Leave the path on the right that follows the Bisse de Saint-Luc. Take the path on the left to Chalet Blanc de Roua. You will soon come to another junction with another sign for Chalet Blanc de Roua.
(3) As indicated by the sign, follow the path on the left and cross the Route des Girettes. Continue along open ground and then through the forest until you reach the Route du Toûno.
(4) Follow the hiking sign pointing to the path on the left. Continue until you reach a junction with the Route du Toûno.
White-red-white markings
(5) Heading north, go to the farm called Le Chalet Blanc de Roua, either via the shortcut (a fairly steep path) or via the Route du Toûno (certainly easier but longer). When you reach the farm, walk along the north side of the building. Take the path that initially heads south and cross a stream. Follow the red and white markings and, after two changes of direction, you will arrive at a crossroads with a signpost.
(6) The sign points to Lac de l'Armina on the right and Lac de Bella Tola on the left. Take the second option. Head north-east, passing under a ski lift at around 2,400 m. The slope is fairly gentle and joins a track at an altitude of around 2,500 m. The track becomes steeper and reaches a fork at the foot of Bella Tola (3,025 m).
(7) Leave the path to the summit of Bella Tola on your left and take the path on the right towards Lac de Bella Tola and Pas de Bœuf. Very quickly, you will come to another fork in the path.
(8) Keep heading towards the Bella Tola and Armina lakes on your right and you will soon see Lake Bella Tola, which is unfortunately dry at the end of summer. Shortly after the lake, look for a sign pointing towards Lake Armina.
(9) Gain a little altitude, go around a rocky outcrop and reach a small pass overlooking Lake Armina. Descend easily towards the lake. Follow the eastern shore of the lake and, at an altitude of 2,584 metres, join a path towards the Meidpass. Continue until you reach the junction with the path coming from the pass.
(10) Head south-west and begin the descent to the intersection with the path to Lac de Combavert.
(11) Keep heading in the same direction. A sign indicates the Hotel Weisshorn. Descend to the Combavert mountain pasture.
Yellow markings
(12) Follow the signs for Hôtel Weisshorn. Make one last effort to reach your accommodation for the day (E).
