It is possible to drive to the start of this short walk via the Joux Plane, otherwise you can access the start via the Telepherique de Nyon. The walk is a return so you can follow the same route back to the starting point. It is also possible to take in some spectacular 360° views from the top of Pointe de Nyon via the Telesiege de la Pointe. The Nyon Guerin lake is an artificial lake created to supply the snow cannons in the Morzine ski area.
