The hike begins with a stop at the Serranants mountain chalets. Here you may meet a herd of Abondance cows, recognisable by their mahogany coat and glasses around their eyes.

You will then reach the combe de Savolaire and then the col de Savolaire (1930 m), where a beautiful view of the mountains of Saint Jean d'Aulps awaits you.

You will then reach the Brion chalets by a steep descent. You are now in the Aulps valley.

When you reach the chalets de Brion, take a path that rises through a forest to the Col de Crèvecoeur and then descends to the lower lake of Damoz des Moulins, then its upper lake, now a high altitude peat bog.

You will then reach the Damoz des Moulin pass which separates the Pic de la Corne and the Mont Brion to discover a panorama of the Abondance valley.

The route back to the chalets of Serranants.
