Description

"#### Crossing and descent towards Forclaz Pass From the upper station of the Prarion cable car, follow the signposted path of the Tour du Pays du Mont Blanc towards the head of La Charme and the mountain pasture of the same name.

Arrived at the alpine pasture at 1799 m take the track to the N stay on the side until you reach the cross of the Charm. From this point the route goes down a track to Les Combettes.

It is also possible to take a path through the forest between the Abbey and Les Combettes. After the Combettes take in the hairpin of the track another track on the right well indicated col de la Forclaz.

Follow this track until you reach the Col de la Forclaz, a small climb on the last third of the crossing.

In parallel to this (relatively recent) track there is also a indicated path. #### Descent from the Col de la Forclaz to Vaudagne At the pass take the forest track on the left towards Vaudagne, go down by a relatively comfortable track at the beginning and then resembling a dry bed of torrent until Mont Borrel at 1300 m .

Leave the "pebbles" track to follow an unmarked and always maintained path under the power line for about 200 m.

Enter the forest and continue down to Les Bouchards (Haut de Vaudagne). #### Return by Charousse From Les Bouchards follow the road becoming very quickly an ascending track towards Charousse at 1231 m.

At the first hairpin of the track find a suitable path, short crossing, short descent to cross the stream and ascent to Charousse.

Cross the mountain pastures of second homes to find the trail and then the road to Les Chavants and the lower station of the Prarion cable car. "<br/><br/>_This Adventure has been shared under the [Creative Commons Share Alike](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/) licence._
