This is a crucial day linking Bourg St Pierre with the Valsorey Hut, with steep south facing slopes to access then Valsorey Hut and early start is advised. Escape from the main road in the village before heading through some meadows to take the north side of the valley. Numerous small foot bridges here temp you into making numerous crossings, but its usually better to stay on the north side. At the Chalet d'Amont the summer track climbs up the hill side into steeper ground which is usually avoided in the winter. Instead continue in the stream bed and follow a narrow gorge on the left, the ground soon easing to reach Point 2614.
