Beautiful route that goes on Crêt du Miroir and Le Grand Crêt d'Eau. There are three chalets you can use for rest: Chalet Bizot, Chalet du Sac and La Poutouille

It stars from Fort l'Écluse parking (free) and it ends at the same point.

For the begining, I recommend to take the left way to climb (more boring) and going down by the right, to finish the hike in the Fort l'Écluse.
To be practical, you should choose LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT to climb and return in te opposite way.

There are more paths, so you should follow the GPS indications.

If it's very long, you can take another path to go to the fort without doing the whole route (usually, these are marked in every GPS app, even Google Maps).
