    Take a path on the right which winds between forests and clearings.

    After a few steep rock passages, the path crosses a spruce forest to lead to the forest track which leads you to the chalet de la Raille, a pasture occupied in summer by herds of abundant cows.

    From here, and from right to left, a splendid view of the Cornettes de Bise, Mont Chauffé, Mont Jorat, the Tavaneuse massif, Mont de Grange and the Dents du Midi.

    The return is by the northern valley located at the back of the chalet de la Raille. After an abrupt passage (secured by a chain), you descend towards
    Chevenne and return to the village.
