From the Chenal car park, take the pastoral road up to Fenil. At the top of the hamlet, leave the road and take a path on the right that rises. The path ends up joining a flat pastoral road in the mountain pastures. At the next fork in the road, take the road to the left, then follow a path that goes flat to the right. Cross the gorges of the Nant Cruet on a natural bridge and continue to climb up to the "Pierre Carrée". Then turn right onto the path which descends into a wood. At the end of the wood, leave a ruin on the right in a meadow and continue down into the forest. Pass under a power line and join a path on the right that leads to the Nazonde farm. Go back up to the front, pass under the power line again, then go down a steep and narrow path. Cross the torrent on another natural bridge and continue to the hamlet of Nantcruet.
