Just after the intersection with the outward itinerary, turn left onto Route des Caillets, towards Gîte du Pas de l’Ours, and follow this road to Seythenex.
Seythenex -> Faverges-Seythenex: cross the square outside the town hall (“Mairie”), then turn right onto Route des Grottes. Continue until you reach the D12. Turn left and follow the D12 back to Faverges-Seythenex.
