On the balcony on the northern slope, facing the pyramidal massif of the Pic du Marcelly (1999 m), the route invites itself through peaceful hamlets before reaching the Lac des Vernays. On your way you can discover the Chapel of Nicodex or the pretty hamlet of Miaux. The return is via the right bank of the Giffre, an impetuous free-flowing river to the Taninges dam.
