Ask for information at the Tourism Office or refer to the guidebook to locate the different climbing areas.

From La Clusaz, take the road that leads to Les Confins. Park in the parking lot at the end of the road. Take the wide hikers' trail for 300 meters and then turn right on to the trail that heads up the Grand Crêt coomb. The start of the route, approximately 45 minutes after leaving the parking lot, will be on your left, right next to the trail, one or two switchbacks up after a large cave.

Note: "Combe" in French means "coomb" in English, as well as "gully or small valley". The Aravis Mountains are made up of a series of "coombs", and are referred to on both the topographic map as well as in the guidebook.
