From the village to the ridge

Start where Route des Frasses and Route de Chevenne meet. Head towards Chevenne and the open pastures below the Cornettes de Bise. The track passes directly over Col de Resse and Col du Serpentin.

From the lake to Les Thoules

Stay on the main track by the chalets to protect the lakeshore. The return via La Maisonnette is steep. Allow time for the full descent into the village.
