Description of the route
By car reach Champlong Dessus hamlet, above Villeneuve, cross the village and continue for 100 metres on the road on the left until a small dirt parking lot.
After leaving the car, continue on the paved road that goes uphill and after 5 minutes reaches a fork. From here begins route n.1A, that slightly uphill, continues along the gravel road that along wide hairpin bends in the forest reaches the abandoned hamlet of Prorayé on a small and green plateau.
For those who wish to walk more, the itinerary can continue, from Prorayé, on the gravel road that reaches Petit Poignon at 1576 mt, on the ridge between Valsavarenche and Cogne Valley.
