Presentation

Much of the route is in the he Mont-de-Grange reserve, established in 1984.
By being discreet and with a little patience, you may be able to observe chamois, mountain sheep and marmots .
Difficulty level : medium .

From the Pré-la-Joux car park, take the path leading up towards Betzalin.
After 200m, leave the forest track on your left to take the fairly steep path alongside the stream.
After rejoining the track, cross the stream to reach the Betzalin mountain pasture. At the chalet, take the path straight ahead to Sur-le-Crac, above the Essert waterfall.

After crossing the stream, turn left onto the carriage road.

At the fork in the road, turn left onto the GR5 in the direction of Etrye. You'll stay on this track all the way to Lenlevay, where you'll enjoy a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc.

Descend into the small valley on your left to join the Covagnes and continue on the same path entering the forest and leading back to Betzalin. For the descent, take the path back up.
