Take the path opposite the garage in Montchauvin that leads down to the village of Montorlin, which is well worth exploring. Then go up the narrow road starting at the basin (next to the Salle Louis Emprin) and cross the Montchavin road to get onto a wide path that climbs up to La Pierra (1km), passing a ruined chalet on your right. Take a rest in this pleasant clearing before retracing your steps directly back to Montchavin.
