Description of the route

From Mendey take the road that descends to the right down to a bend where there is no entry for vehicles. Continue along the dirt road signposted 3 that goes off to the left, and shortly afterwards leads into the wood. The trail takes you along the pastures of Meriau Désot, Praz-Gallet and Eteley, ignoring the branches for Alpe d’Arsy to the left, Etroubles to the right, and later for the slopes of Mont Labiez again to the left. It then reaches a terrace where the road ends, looking out over the valley of Flassin and the high valley of Gran San Bernardo.
