Plateau de la Croix

Moderate 

Les Communailles, St. Gervais
Your hike starts in Les Communailles. From here, just follow Rte des Sejaz east; after ca. 1200 m, turn right on the Chem. du Lays and then after ca. 800m turn right towards the Chez Ernestine restaurant to start your steady uphill.

Once you arrive at the plateau, it is the perfect spot to take a rest, have a picnic, and watch the super views of Mont Blanc, the Aiguille de Bionnassay, and the Dômes de Miage, simply enjoying the environment. After taking in these world-class panoramas, the route transitions into a long, continuous downhill stretch. Use Rte d'Hermance to start going downhill, which gets you to Le Dèchappieu, and from there follow the signs back to Les Communailles.
