Frâchette – Croix de l’Aiguille – Pas de Croisette – Chemin de l’Aiguille – Frâchette
The starting point is located at the Crosets ski lift parking area.
Walk past the Crêperie and follow the Crettet-Bornex road for 150 meters, then turn left and go up the Chemin du Mirois until you reach Vaillime. Follow the drivable road going off to the right until you reach the Relais Panoramique. At the junction at point 1870, follow on the right the ridge down to the Pas de Croisette, then continue straight on the trail until you reach the summit of the Croix de l’Aiguille.
Return to the Pas de Croisette, then descend to the left via Crettet-Bornex back to Les Crosets.
Variant:
From the Croix de l’Aiguille, descend the small trail that leads to the clearing (windsock of the paragliding launch area) and enjoy the wider view. Then return to the right along the wide flat path back to the Pas de Croisette.
