Description of the route
From the municipal seat of Allein, take route 24 behind the church, and go up to the hamlet of Ville (1405 m). At the chapel, continue on the left and descend to the former windmill, then go back up to Bruson (1479 m). From here, continue on the left on the private road until you come to the first bend (just before this point, ignore route 23 on the left) where you follow the small road that branches off to Alpe Bossolaz, the departure point of the path that you previously abandoned on the right of the road. This goes into the woods, crosses the dirt road (signposted 25B), then goes along a flat section to the pasture of Fontaines (1892 m). Start climbing again up to another pasture called Parc (2014 m) and continue inside the woods, which become less dense and leave space to the alpine meadow, until you come to a spring in Fontanin. From here, head towards the western crest of Mont Saron, which you follow up the summit.
