• Guidebook with maps/step-by-step : From the hamlet of Dessy, follow the small road towards Ivoray, then a footpath that runs parallel to the road, on the right-hand side. Go left onto the Mont Mailly forest path. After around 3km, the path leads to the hamlet of Charjou. Carry on through the forest where you’ll see some ancient pools, before heading down to the pretty village of Ivoray, where the view over the ridges from the Pointe Perret to the Pic de Marcelly is remarkable. For the way back, you’ll be walking along the quiet Route d’Ivoray towards Dessy and then join onto the same path you arrived on.
