Access

Access
  • Park on the side of the D6 road between Balme and Arâches, at the second hairpin turn where the road curves to the left (going uphill); there is a safety barrier just past this turn. You are now facing the Balme cliff. For most of the routes, take the trail toward the Grotte de Balme.
