Description of the route

From the parking square at the entrance to the built-up area of Pontboset, cross the Ayasse stream on a two-arched bridge and follow the asphalted road for a few meters, until you reach a mule track that passes to the right of a house with a source and reaches another stone bridge over the stream from La Manda, to join the paved road leading to the Sanctuary of Retempio. Continue right with large bends between the chestnut trees until the Creux houses, where the road turns left. Upon reaching the mouth of the Brenve valley, a couple of hairpin bends lead to the houses of Crest Désot. Inside the settlement, go up a steep path that takes you to Crest Damon in a few minutes.
You can hike as well with strollers suitable for trekking.
