1/ From the parking of the Granges ski lift, go up in the mountain pasture following the ski lift.
Reach a track, take it on the left and continue to climb towards the Bel Air wood.

Staying on this winding path, cross the wood and come out on a vast space above the cable car station and a restaurant (altitude 2050m).
