How to get there
Morgex motorway exit; head for Pré-Saint-Didier then left for La Thuile followed by Pont Serrand.
Easy excursion in front of the La Thuile downward slopes.
There are some steep stretches on the upper part of the route but they are not obligatory.
Description of the route
Just before the village of Pont Serrand cross the bridge and follow the trail of the road that leads to the Orgère mountain pastures. Turn right and go up the steeper trail and enter the Orgère Valley. Once into the valley turn to the left and head up the slopes, in some stretches with supports, that lead to the Combe Varin.
Descend down the upward itinerary.
