The hardest part being the very first climb from the bottom of the resort, up to the lake of Ouillette passing by the Arsellaz farm, a little jewel nested  in the middle of an alpine meadow. All along the trail that goes up, you will enjoy a stunning bird’s eye view over the village of Val d’Isère. Once you will have completed a loop around the lake, you will run down to the village on the Lavancher trail that will take you to the Fornet hamlet on the North balcony trail.
