Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

From the base of the slopes, take the pedestrian trail farthest to the left, pass right in front of the Les Soldanelles residence, then follow the Jora loop. 1/ On your way back to Chevaly, 200 m before the starting point—where the pedestrian trail runs alongside the road—turn left onto the road and head uphill toward the intersection by the hotel. After the Koop “Jeunesse Ardente” chalet, continue on the small road to the left toward Brésy. 2/ Follow the marked trail of the Gron Loop, in the heart of the wild Combe de Gron. 3/ Upon returning from the Gron Loop, take the pedestrian trail to the left, just before the road, and continue toward Les Molliettes. 4/ At the intersection near Les Molliettes, cross the road and head back down toward the resort center. The more athletic can take the alternate route to the left toward the Col de la Ramaz and Sommand.
