Technical information
Description of the route
From the centre of the village of La Thuile, cross the bridge above the Dora Verney and reach Faubourg. The foodpath n. 9 leaves from nearby an hotel, it 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 to Col des Orgères. The last part of the trail is exposed and equipped with a fixed rope.
