Stage interrupted. See the alternative route map.
Description of the route
From Cunéy mountain hut the route descends for a short distance across several ridges, then heads to the right, skirting the base of a rocky area before rising slightly to a grassy plain.
After a short climb to the right it reaches Col Chaleby.
From here, the path descends the steep slope to a basin, where there are the remains of a mountain chalet, and then climbs sharply, crossing a rocky stretch to reach Rosaire-Clermont bivouac.
Climbing up the steep rocky slope, you reach Col de Vessonaz.
The descent, at first, passes steeply through rock debris, after which, keeping to the right under a modest rocky buttress, you reach the summer pastures of Arp Damon.
The route continues on to the right into a small rocky valley, at the end of which there is a conifer wood, leading to the vast grassy plain of the summer pastures of Arp Vieille.
From here the path crosses the plain, enters a wood and descends until it reaches a clearing.Past the Betenda bridge over Buthier creek, the trail goes up and through the woods to Betenda alp, it reaches the Tour d’Oyace bifurcation, then it goes down by the town of Oyace, where you’ll be able to spend the night.
