Description of the route
From Vernosse, in the municipality of Oyace, continue towards Bagnera bridge. Continue along the road until you come to route 4 - at the end of the paved road and start of the dirt road - which rises steeply to the pastures of Verdonaz, Broiller, Tsavanne and Tza de Verdonaz (near the latter you will find the chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Snow - Madonna delle nevi - celebrated on 5 August). From here, take route 105 on the right, ignoring the left branch for Saint-Barthélemy pass, and head for Col d’Arpeyssaou. Go down the opposite side from here to reach the bivouac La Lliée in a few minutes.
