From Saint Vincent, cross the Dora Baltea near the Ussel castle, then continue slightly uphill towards Pontey. From here the itinerary continues on the Envers, climbing the right bank of the Dora along a route that alternates asphalt and dirt roads, with a pleasant up and down at around 600 m above sea level.
