Description of the route
When you get to Pont Suaz park the car below the pharmacy and take the narrow road near the hotel Miage that leads to Charvensod. To make it easier drive directly to Charvensod , park the car and take the road through the village opposite the town hall, which leads you to the hamlet of Chateau. Continue on itinerary 102, first on the road and then on the mule track, which bends right and goes into the woods until it comes to Peroulaz. Now, cross the regional road for Pila, until you soon come to the village of Sérémont, and, with the village on your right, continue up a steep slope to a stable, and then continue along the mule track until you come to the hermitage dedicated to Saint Gratus, the patron saint of the town Aosta.
