Description of the route

From the centre of the village of La Thuile, go down along the street that flanks the Dora Verney until you reach a bridge which crosses over to the left. A trail leaves from nearby an old hotel, which intersects the bends on the paved state road and leads to the village of Pont Serrand. Just before reaching the dwellings, take a paved road on the right which rises sharply and, after several hairpin bends, leads to a holiday farmhouse. Go past this, then, on the right of the road, take trail no. 12, which crosses the stream several times then leads to a lake in Vallone des Orgères and the hill of the same name (Col des Orgères).
