Directions
From the car park take the track signposted Col de la Balme until you reach L'Avanchereau. Continue along to the right and take the little wood pontoon which covers the bogs. Once you reach Col de Balme take the forest track towards La Pointe de la Gray and follow the ridge leading to the summit. Here you will see the amazing views of Mont Balnc and Roc d'Enfer. Go along the ridge to Col des Chauvannes and continue downwards towards the fields. From here you can take the forest path towards Les Culees, and once you reach the 'Altitude 1,450m' signpost, turn right and head through the forest to get back to the car park.
