Cross the road towards the path bordered with ancestral willows. Keep walking up until reaching the hamlet “Le Collet”. You will arrive close to the chapel Sainte Brigide, through the door window you can have a peak inside.
Keep walking on the main road until you find yourself at the bottom of the dirt road to Le Col d’Arves that used to lead to Saint Jean de Maurienne.
