From Rougemont, follow the Route de la Croisette until you reach the forest. There you will reach the road that leads to the Vallée de la Manche. At the crossroads, turn right and follow the road until you are out of the forest. Then the route crosses the countryside via La Neirive and Raye du Baillif to Combette. Finally the ascent follows via the SW flank to the summit at 2039 m.a.s.l..
As a descent, the route via Col de la Forcla, Grands Craux and Le Pont back to Rougemont is recommended.
The ski route can be extended with the ascent to the panoramic summit Les Rodomonts and subsequent descent to Rougemont or Saanen.
