Descend on the wide road to the road, cross it (attention road passing) and take straight on the path of Peysset, follow the path that will make you pass in the hamlet then in the woods. You will then arrive in a more open space with meadows up to the Longerey sign. (2) At this level turn left on the road to the road. Follow it for about thirty meters, and take a road not cleared of snow, which goes up to the left. (3) After a ruin, she makes a left turn, then goes back to the right on the edge of the forest. Continue along the forest track on the left. Further, it crosses the stream of La Grenaz and joins another road, not cleared of snow. (4) At the junction of « la Draye », take the road on the left towards Villard, on the edge of meadow and woods. At the top of a large meadow, continue straight ahead by the forest trail, which joins a forest track. Continue left onto another track. At the next crossing, take the road to the right, which goes up. Continue until the next junction. Continue on the path to the right downhill... on slopes that are sometimes quite steep!

In the village, pass in front of the basin and bread oven, then cross the main road. Continue in front by the dead end, until the last house, and take the path to the right. After crossing a stream, towards a renovated barn, continue straight, then continue left after a secluded house. (6) Shortly after continue straight to pass under the hamlet of Les Reys. Continue on a wide road to the right until the next crossing. Continue on the left path through meadows, until the edge of the wood, then the one on the right, to cross the stream of La Grenaz, and go up the opposite side. Cross the meadow to find an agricultural path, which leads back to St Philibert. After the cottage, take the passage on the left to immediately reach the church.
