Between Taninges and Mieussy, turn right (coming from Taninges) at the hamlet of Les Vagnys toward the Chapelle Saint Grat. Drive up the road almost to the top and park in the lot very close to the chapel. The west face is accessed by taking a trail on the right about 30 meters past the chapel. For the “Baou” and “Chapelle Nord” sectors, take the ascending, vehicle-accessible trail from the parking lot. The “Baou” sector is accessible via a wide trail on the left; continue left uphill to reach the sector. For “Chapelle Nord,” take another trail on the left further up, at a sharp right-hand turn.
