Step by step description : From the Col de Porte parking lot, head towards the cross-country fireplace and follow the signs for "Cabane de Bachasson". The path initially skirts the meadow, then quickly forks into the forest to reach the hut. From here, continue left towards La Folatière to the summit. On both the ascent and descent, keep to the S-shaped path to minimize erosion. The descent follows the same route. For the return journey, and to avoid a return trip along the same route, extend the hike back to the Bachasson hut and continue towards Pré Boiteux and on to Habert de Chamechaude. Descend towards Le Sappey en Chartreuse. At Montjalat, join Le Churut then Le Réservoir. Follow the GR9 at Appanon and turn right up to Col de Porte.
