Access

Access
  • Park in the car park on the edge of the D 1205 road, next to the Balme crossroads on the Magland side. Go into the wood and then turn right on a vague path. When you reach the sign indicating the car park, do not follow the path which climbs to the left on the slope but continue almost parallel to the road, climbing slightly. You go along the slope above the road on another path. When this one goes down a little, continue in an upward crossing. Another very vague path passes just below a large boulder, becomes a little steeper (a few bends). In about 15 minutes, you reach the foot of the cliff, which you follow to the right to reach the area, located under a large yellow roof.
