    1/ From the car park in front of the Vieille Eglise, go up the Presles path, which is tarmacked until you reach the farm, then well maintained until you reach the second chalet. Turn left onto the dirt track that joins the D 321. Follow this road through the woods for 500m. At the hamlet of Chez les Servoz, turn right onto a track giving access to the communal reservoir and a telephone antenna. You will find the yellow and red markings of the GR de Pays "Littoral du Léman" which you follow. Continue flat towards the east to reach the village of Véron. 2/ Cross Véron and towards the last houses, take a dirt track on the right, then turn left to reach Les Combes. At the last house, turn right and walk up the dirt track for 100 m. Then continue to the left through the woods. Pass under the storm surge tank and join a forest track. Follow it for 200 m. Then, on the left, take a slightly downhill dirt track for 500 m to a wider track. This one goes down on the left towards Troubois. 3/ At Troubois, follow the local road for 200 m then go up the Chemin des Fontaines under the village of Les Combes. From there, go back down the communal road for 300 m, and follow a dirt track on the right which joins the eastern entrance of the hamlet of Véron. Cross the village to the village of Chez Busset.
