In the morning, I took a Car Région bus (line Y62) to Saint-Jean-de-Sixt. I first made a detour to Site des 3 Ponts on the Nom river. I then started on the way up to Col des Mouilles. I then walked below Tête du Danay on the way to Les Confins. At the end of the day, I boarded a winter shuttle back to La Clusaz, where I waited for the Car Région bus back to Annecy.
