Arrived on this path, turn left towards Pétaz. From this crossroads, turn right towards the Bois de Fouestarle then turn left to cross the field and reach the Oratoire des Clapières. The return to the village of La Giettaz takes the same route to Pétaz. From this crossroads, descend by the Puginières, the Pont Noir and the Chapelle des Nants (duration: 1h45; distance: 4.1 km).

TO KNOW :
The Oratoire des Clapières is the oldest oratory in Val d'Arly. During the revolution, it was hidden under a heap of wood and branches in order to escape the order of destruction of the small oratories. Note that "Clapières" designates stony ground, which manifests itself in the construction material of the oratory.
