D/ La Thuile village hall parking lot. 1/Turn left onto the road, after 100m you'll find a dirt track on your left. 2/ At the road, turn right and follow the road. 3/ Take the path on your right towards the Grotte de l'Ermite. 4// When you reach the edge of a field, cross it straight on. You then enter a wood, follow the markings on the trees and posts. The path gradually climbs up to a gate protecting access to a cottage. 5/Follow the path up to the right to reach the ridge. At the top, follow the fence. 6/ At the "Les combes Sud" sign, turn left towards "Roc de Tormery", and continue towards the Tormery cross. Magnificent views await you. 7/ You're skirting the crest of a rocky ridge, so take care. The path continues between meadows and woods, with several crossings of fences. 8/ At the "Le Tapin-Ouest" sign, there are two possible routes: either to the right, a tricky cabled passage, or to the left, a forest path. The routes meet up again at the "Sous Tapin" sign, with a succession of different viewpoints. 9/ Several successive foot-and-hand rocky passages. The path continues towards the Roche du Guet. 10/ Continue along the ridge. The descent begins gradually. At the various intersections, follow "La Tuile". 11/ You then come to a number of dwellings, cross the hamlet and head left towards "Le Mont". 12/ After 100 m, a path descends to your right, skirting the Lac de La Thuile and bringing you back to your starting point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This popular spot offers a very pleasant setting just a few dozen minutes from the Chambéry basin.
