    Return via the north combe behind Chalet de la Raille. After a steep passage (secured by a chain), you descend towards Chevenne and then the village.

    Whatever your hike, remember to pack cereal bars, plenty of water, sunglasses, sunscreen, a small first-aid kit, and clothing appropriate to the season and weather forecast.
