Description of the route by the creator
Park at the Fort de Tamié parking lot. Turn left around the fort to reach the viewpoint over Albertville. Turn left to cross the road and continue along the path to the right. Follow the signs to La Frasse. You will pass the former watering place of the Abbey of Tamié. Just before you reach the La Frasse parking lot, turn left to reach the Col de l'Alpette. You can then make a return trip to the Roc Rouge or continue uphill towards Belle-Étoile. The path then follows the mountain ridge, and there are a few rungs to help you climb the small walls. Finally, descend towards Fort de Tamié. Join the road that leads directly back to the fort.
