Description of the route by the creator
The route starts from the Champenay parking lot. Follow the signs to the chalet de la Platière or Petit'Arc (the start of the route does not follow the normal path). Then climb to Petit'Arc, the first summit of the chain. Continue straight on along the ridge. The ridge presents few difficulties, only a few places are a little more arduous, but there are chains to help you through the more difficult passages. The final summit, the Dent du Corbeau, offers a beautiful view of Lake Annecy. Then return via the refuge de la Thuile and follow the signs back to the starting parking lot.
