Itinerary used for a long time by the inhabitants of the slope - schoolchildren in particular - to reach the village before the road called "Nant Robert" was built, the vertical ascent of Carchet goes up from the bridge of Suize (921m) to the cross of Arces (1690m).

769m of a difference in altitude reserved for the most athletic, which climbs between coniferous woods (fir and spruce) and mountain pastures, where you can observe, in its summit part, chamois and marmots. The summit offers a 360° view on the surrounding summits, and the possibility to come down by a less committed itinerary via the hamlet of Nant Robert, from the arrival station of the Joyère cable car. Respect nature throughout your hike: - respect the trail layout, do not cut outside, - do not scare livestock, do not cut wires and close fences, - observe wildlife from a distance, - Nature is not a dustbin, keep your waste and throw it in the containers available in the villages.

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
Starting from the Suize Bridge (cable car car park), head towards the wayside shrine at the foot of the Route du Nant Robert. Walk up the road and, before the hairpin bend, take the path that cuts across it. Cross the road to find a flight of steps at the edge of the woods, signposted ‘Pont des Romains’. Leave the steps and follow the ‘Pont des Romains’ sign to climb through the woods to the Route des Envers. Cross the road and continue up the steps on the slope, following the cable car route to the junction with the end of the Route des Envers. Continue the climb along the mountain pasture track to the top of the cable car station, then follow the signs for Les Combes and Bois de la Taverne. At the edge of the woods, leave the track and follow the path along the edge of the woods towards Sous les Arces. Shortly after the ski lift, turn left towards Croix des Arces. Arrival at the cross. Descend via the same route to the junction with the Route des Envers; it is advisable to follow the less demanding route towards Nant Robert to return to the start.
