Technical Information

Route

From the village of Saint-Rhémy, cross the Grand-Saint-Bernard stream via the road bridge and follow the dirt road, which gently descends to the main village of the municipality of Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses (Saint-Léonard). Cross the small village and continue first on a path and then on a paved road to the hamlet of Mottes. After a short downhill stretch, take the dirt road on the right, which passes beneath the motorway viaduct and continues on level terrain as far as the Devies alpine pasture.
A little further on, take the footpath to the right, alongside a dry-stone wall, then climb up across meadows to the summer pastures of Merdeux Inferiore.
From here there is a short stretch of unmetalled road as far as the summer pastures of Côtes, before the route takes a mid-slope path across to the summer pastures of Moindaz.
It then climbs once again, through wide green meadows, to the summer pastures of Tsa de Merdeux.
After crossing several streams and climbing a steep grass spur, you arrive at the plain of lake Merdeux and at the Frassati mountain hut.
