(1) Depart from the Fierney gondola car park.
(2) From the car park, take the road leading to the cable car. Pass under it and join the route de la Thène.
(3) The path starts at a footbridge on the left and climbs rapidly, accumulating several metres of positive gradient towards the top station of the Fierney gondola. The path first crosses the Col de Crozet forestry road before entering the Nature Reserve. It crosses this road twice more before reaching the top station of the cable car.
(4) When you reach the mountain pastures, go around the upper station to the left, gaining height, then climb back up along the Bergers cable car, gaining a few more metres in height. The path follows a contour line. At a crossroads, head towards Montoiseau.
(5) Once you reach the summit of Montoiseau (1599 m), turn left across the combe à Fournier to go around Montoisey. Enter the Nature Reserve and continue towards Grand Crêt 1702 m. Go past this point to reach the ‘Sous le Crêt’ junction.
(6) From the ‘Sous le Crêt’ junction, continue straight on to Crêt de la Neige 1720 m.
