2. on your right you will pass by the path which takes you to the famous Sapin Président and which is worth the little detour for children ;-)
3.after a small ledge you cross the bridge that spans the Crève Coeur torrent further on
4.then the path climbs a little steeper for a few meters
5. this forest path continues winding through the mountain until the final clearing where you will cross the Arpenaz stream which forms the famous waterfall of the same name
