Departing from the Col, the path plunges into the Combe des Morts and then moves to l’Hospitalet. After the de la Pierre pasture - whose vaulted barn dates back to 1707 – modern age shows its mark with the start of the road tunnel and the Toules dam; go along it following its left bank. Bourg-Saint-Pierre, the final destination of this stage and of the Tour des Combins, is now close-by. From St-Rhémy to Bourg Saint Pierre, the Tour des Combins follows the route of the path linking Martigny to Aosta, a section of the Via Francigena, connecting Canterbury to Rome.
