From the hamlet of Triatel, which together with Etirol comprises Petit-Monde, the first section follows the asphalt municipal road; Etirol can , however, be reached by car. Between the two villages is a typical mill, which was in operation until a few years ago. After leaving the road follow a path that is almost entirely within a wood and pass in front of Alpe Comianaz until you reach Gilliarey. A part of the route follows the Great Balcony walk that circles the Valtournenche, No 107. At Gilliarey the view of the valley and Matterhorn is memorable.
