The stage runs through the Lake Moncenisio area. The landscape is stunning as are the views. It is an important area too for having been the site of many battles over the ages. After walking on the ridge along the border, the trail descends on French terrain to the abandoned hamlet of Grand-Croix before running alongside the banks of the lake and reaching the Petit Mont-Cenis hut. This leg is practicable by mountain bike, too from Gran Croix (Lake of Mont Cenis) to Col Clapier.
