When you get to the Plan Maison arrival station, continue on dirt road no. 15 until you get to a crossroad. Take the left branch, formerly trail AV3, first along the road and then a path, among high-altitude meadows. Go over several humps and an area littered with large rocks and numerous springs. The hike continues upwards towards the glacial moraines of the southern side of Mount Cervino, until you reach a pretty deep blue lake a short distance from the refuge. Now take the path, the usual ascent passage of Mount Cervino, which goes up towards the west, above the refuge and then goes over a rocky spur. Continue northwards until you get to Croce Carrel, in memory of the glorious Valdostan guide.
