Description of the route

From the municipal seat of Doues route 8 takes you to the chapel of Torrent (built after the 1630 plague, and dedicated to Saint Fabian and Saint Sebastian). From here, continue along the same itinerary which crosses over the paved road several times and going through several villages as far as the pasture of Champillon. In a short time you come to Plan Détruit, where a cross commemorates those who fell during the battle with the Valaisans. Continue along the dirt road and after 300 m, take route AV1 on the left of the road, which goes over the Tsa alp and Letey mountain refuge, and reaches Col de Champillon.
