Stage info

Starting from the Chalet du Soldat, take the path heading south towards the Stierenritz mountain farm, at the foot of the Wandflue. Continue walking down into the Petit Mont valley, past the Le Lapé forest reserve. The path continues gently to the La Gueyre chalet, passing the La Fregima à Tena mountain farm on the left (point 1543). Walk down to the Riau du Gros Mont at the bottom of the eponymous valley. After two kilometres of flat terrain, the path climbs to the Vallon des Morteys and the Les Marindes cabin at the foot of the Vanil Noir.
