From Hône, shortly after the Forte di Bard, 7km after Pont-Saint-Martin on the SS26 in the direction of N, turn towards Champorcher which you reach after another 15km of state road, shortly after the town centre follow the road on the right towards Dondénaz which after 5km becomes a dirt road (but still easily passable) until its end 7km later at an altitude of 2100m above sea level; there you can park in three large dedicated spaces or on the edge of the driveway.
After passing the small cluster of huts, follow the signpost 7 on the left, paying attention about 30' from the start (1.5km) to take the well-marked deviation on the right that climbs under the slopes of Monte Dondena with a fair slope until reaching an altitude of 2450m above sea level, from here on large, almost flat meadows, after passing under an imposing sizzling power line, you easily reach the splendid basin of Lake Misérin.
The circumnavigation of the reservoir in a clockwise direction is easy and you reach the refuge of the same name and the majestic Church of Notre Dame de la Neige.
From here, following the easy dirt road, you complete the ring and return to the starting point.
