An easy walk on the cooler side of the valley. The most beautiful panoramic balcony in the valley.
Departure from Romano bridge in Nancroix . Pastoral path towards Les Esserts. At the fork in the road, turn left (continue along the upward sloping pastoral track) on the right bank of the torrent, in the forest of grand bois. Cross the Thovex clearing to reach the Bauches plateau.
Cross the bridge (if you have time you can make the detour up the torrent: hamlets of Praz Premier and Pramain, typical wooden chalets. Easy) Follow the small road down to the right, until the very panoramic clearing of Esselet. Follow the road for a few hundred metres northwards and take the right-hand return path down towards Les Esserts. On leaving the hamlet, cross the bridge.
- return to Nancroix quietly by the pastoral track or
- immediately after the bridge take the path downstream on the left which follows the torrent Nant Bénin and takes you back to the GR5 near Moulin. Return to Nancroix up the Ponthurin.
Difficulties: pastoral track for three quarters of the way.
