Description of the route
This excursion departs from Triatel. This hamlet along with the hamlet of Etirol are known as Petit Monde. The first part of the trail follows the paved municipal road (it is possible to reach Etirol immediately by car), and along the initial part of the road you can see an old watermill which still ran until a few years ago. Leave the road and continue on route 107, which goes almost entirely through the woods till the mountain pastures of Tsantsevella. . From here, go along the dirt road for 500m then continue to the right, remaining on route 107, leading to Crêt. After Crêt, you come to another dirt road that runs alongside the houses of Tellinod until it comes to Gilliarey, where you will find the sanctuary in the surroundings.
From Gilliarey you can enjoy an unforgettable view of the Matterhorn and of the Valtournenche valley.
