Panoramica: Ru - Berrié - Place Moulin is a 11.3 km point-to-point moderate hiking route in Switzerland, running from Les Rus to Le Meà. The route covers 1,081m of ascent and 796m of descent, with elevations ranging from 1,703m to 2,456m. Allow approximately 4h 42m for the full route.

The route is divided into 4 segments. The toughest stretch is the 2.0 km from Les Rus to Rifugio Crête Sèche, climbing 376m (allow 1h 02m for this section). In contrast, the 1.3 km from Mont de Charmontane to Mont de la Tsa is much gentler.
