From La Fouly, you’ll bypass the pretty little hamlets typical of the Val Ferret, through forests and across pastures in a magnificent mountain setting in which you’ll spot the Dalle de l’Amône, well-known to climbers. On the way back south, where the borders between France, Italy and Switzerland converge and the Mont Dolent, which is on the border between France, Italy and Switzerland, the majestic Mont Dolent becomes visible in the background. Halfway along the route, you’ll reach the hamlet of Prayon. Once here, you have a choice: taking a break at the Dolent café/restaurant, then returning along the same path; or at the junction, remaining on the mountain side of the cantonal road, or getting the bus back from Prayon.
