If you choose to continue, cross the hamlet of Leyval straight ahead (several calvaries). A new ascent begins on a dirt track after a succession of fountains. 4) When you reach the hamlet of Les Granges de Leyval, turn sharply left after the last building. Continue along a grassy path in the direction of the television relay station on the other side (panoramic view of Faymont, Les Feuillées and the Val-d'Ajol). 5) Go down on a small road towards the village of Val-d'Ajol, which you can soon see. 6) Go down through the pastures on a grassy path.
