From Saint-Rhémy, you reach the main village of Saint-Léonard, which you cross as far as the church before continuing westwards and passing under the international road.
Continuing west, you pass under the covered road back to the Crévacol ski area. The path then climbs into the Comba de Merdeux to reach the rifugio Pier Giorgio Frassati, passing through several mountain pastures.
