Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

From the car park, go to the marketplace and then the Montée du Char (beginning with steps) towards the village of Avonnex. When you leave the village, cross the D902 and follow a small tarmac road for 100m, then go right on a footpath that leads to the highest point of this trail, the Suet (alt. 920m). From there, go down to the village of Le Mont, and then carry on to Verney. Cross through La Chavonette, then the villages of Verdevant, Etry and Petit Jutteninges. On the way back, cross the D907 and go along the right banks of the Giffre to Taninges.
