Description of the route by the creator

The hike starts from the village of Ontex. Park near the church. The path does not follow a signposted itinerary, so follow the route of this hike. The most difficult part is the final climb to Mont Charvaz. The slope is steep and the path slippery. Once at the summit, there are two viewpoints on either side of the path. Go back down the other side, where the path is much easier than on the way up. The signs to return to Ontex are there.
