From Rougemont, follow the Route de la Croisette until you enter the forest. There, you reach the road that leads into the Vallée de la Manche. At the intersection, turn right and follow the road until you exit the forest. Then the route leads across the land via La Neirive and Raye du Baillif to Combette. Finally, the ascent continues over the SW flank to the summit at 2039 meters above sea level.

For the 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.

    The Gstaad holiday region is located in the southwest of Switzerland directly on the border to the French-speaking part of the country. The region can be easily reached by train or car from the Thun lake region, the Lake Geneva area, and the Gruyère region. Direct connections to the European high-speed train network and to all international airports in Switzerland ensure a time-saving and comfortable arrival. The main means of transport in the Gstaad region are the MOB train (Montreux-Oberland Bernois) and numerous post bus lines.
