Itinerary description
From Le Peuty parking, go along the path that leaves the road slightly turning right (do not follow for "Col de Balme 2h30"). You'll walk up first along fields, then through woods and eventually on the plain towards Col de Balme. It's about 1h45/2h00 continuous up to the Col.
There turn right and follow for Catogne. When reaching the sign for Croix de Fer, you can climb up and enjoy a spectacular view. This path however is a bit technically demanding, exposed, narrow and difficult, but not very long (about 10 minutes until you reach the Croix).
Go back and turn right down towards Catogne on easy and large path, though steep sometimes. However, do not go into Catogne, you'll turn right towards Les Tseppes, Trient.
Before Trient, you'll turn right again towards Le Peuty (when I passed, the path was marked dangerous for falling stones, but that might be temporary).
