0h05'
Follow the path that leaves the last houses of Promiod and crosses the meadows, bordered by a wooden railing, until crossing the farm road just above. Continue along the beautiful mule track until the next meeting with the farm road, which, once reached, you will walk along for a long stretch. Continue on the dirt track that cuts across the left orographic slope of the Vallon de Promiod, leaving the first pastures for the beautiful coniferous forest of Praz Carral. The track climbs steadily and passes the ruins of Boettes before reaching a fork in the road.
