A short, easy hike to the typical old summer cottages of Alp du Pied and its Sainte-Marie-Madeleine chapel.
From Cervières, drive to the top of the village and park close to Saint-Michel church.
Go around the building to the left to join the wide path, which gradually rises through the moorland on the left bank of the torrent to a cliffside blockhouse.
Continue until you reach the footbridge that crosses the Villard torrent to reach the meadows. The route then twists and turns up to the hamlet of Alpe du Pied and the Chapelle Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, situated above a rocky spur.
Return by the same route.
