At the junction with the road to Col des Moises, walk approx. 100m and you’ll find the path to the Granges Mamet just after the bend on the right.
Park on the edge of the woodland path so you don’t disrupt traffic.
Uphill: Walk on the easy woodland path to Granges Mamet where you’ll spot the statue on the top of Mont Forchat. Continue along this sloping path snaking through the forest shared by Habère-Poche and Lullin.
Persevere and the Col de l'Encrenaz will appear for lovely views of Lac Léman. Next go up the slope to the peak.
There are great views of Lac Léman and Chablais. You can also see Mont Blanc when the sky is cloudless.
It’s not unusual to see gliders skimming past the ridges in the Vallée Verte.
Downhill: Be careful; the path gets slippery in damp weather.
Go back to Col de l'Encrenaz and take the signposted path ahead to the Col des Moises. Go through the meadow and the path gets steeper and zigzags through the forest to the Creux de la Marlat.
When you reach the main road, turn left to get back onto the woodland path you started on.

From the parking lot of the community center, walk along the building towards the Moises farm.
In front of the farm, take the path on the right.
This path is also the same as the yellow and blue routes of "Secrets de Fées" (signage "Fées").
Follow this route on the plateau until you reach the road to the Col des Moises and the oratory (1).
At the oratory, cross the road and take the GR Balcons du Léman path ascending through the forest towards Col de l’Encrenaz. The path winds through the forest for about 1 hour.
Stay on the GR throughout the ascent. Then you arrive at the Col de l’Encrenaz (2).
From there, take the path that goes directly up to the summit.
After this
very steep section, you reach the summit of Mont Forchat (3). Mont-Blanc and Lake Geneva surround you.
Looking down at the Vallée Verte at your feet, you can see the village of Habère-Poche.
For the descent, return to the Col de l’Encrenaz (alternative: descend in 30 minutes to the Très le Mont alpine pasture. From the pasture, follow the path across the fields towards the Col de l’Encrenaz). From the col, descend due south towards the Granges Mamet (4), (steep descent in the forest). Then follow a drivable track to the Col des Moises. Upon reaching the road, follow it downhill for a few meters and at the turn, take the path to the Moises Community Center.
