From the parking lot, turn right onto the Grande Randonnée de Pays (GRP) "Tour des Dents Blanches" trail, which you will never leave. At the "Plan" crossroads, continue straight on towards the Bostan-Tornay refuge. The trail twists and turns through forest and alpine pastures, past the Bostan chalets. Follow the path between the Dents d'Oddaz and the Avouille to reach a flat area where the Bostan-Tornay refuge is located. The short itinerary provides a good warm-up for this first day. Tip: discover the Col de la Golèse above the refuge, a 30-minute walk away. Retrace your steps and take the path to the right towards the Col. You'll enjoy a breathtaking view of the Terres Maudites, the Golèse Refuge and the Giffre and Morzine Valleys. The tête de Bostan to the right of the Col can be reached in 2 hours 50 minutes.
