Perched on the northern slope, facing the pyramidal massif of Pic du Marcelly (1,999 m), the trail winds through peaceful hamlets before reaching Lac des Vernays. Along the way, you can explore the Nicodex Chapel or the charming hamlet of Les Miaux. The return trip follows the right bank of the Giffre, a wild, free-flowing river all the way to the Taninges Dam. This route presents no particular difficulties and takes you through wooded areas.
