From La Chapelle d'Abondance, take the La Panthiaz gondola to reach the summit of the gondola, the starting point of the route.

After arriving at the foot of the chairlift Braitaz, you will continue on a nice trail by the place called "Sevant Front", then "Sevant Behind". The forest path takes you to the culmination point of the Saix pass. Here, enjoy the panoramic view over the valley of Abondance, we can see the villages of Châtel, the Chapel of Abundance and Abundance. It is also a majestic point for the view of the balconies of the Mont de Grange in front.
