Itinerary description
From the parking, go towards the little village and onto a gravel road behind the village. Follow the signs to Anzeide.
From Anzeide, follow for Refuge Giacomini and then Col des Essets.
This part is basically always up.
After the col, follow a path downhill until you arrive at a plain (Plan des Bouis). After crossing this plain for a while, turn right into a steep rocky path and follow up towards "Sur champs", signs for Bovonne.
From the "col", turn right upwards following for Solalex.
After a sign for a viewpoint (worth the little detour!), follow a steep and not always easy path down (there are chains for support).
You'll arrive right at the parking.

Lovely scenery! We started the other way around and would recommend to do so if you prefer to walk up heavy than to walk down steep most of the time. The other way around means starting from the south, and finishing in refuge de Solalex eating the awarded fondue with a touch of blue cheese! the best fondue we've ever eaten.
The walk in a sporty rhythm took 4,5 hours.
