Access

From the L'Anglettaz car park. It is also possible to start from Villaz or La Blonnière .

In winter, access to the chalet side of L'Anglettaz (or possibly via the Chappeys chalets) is preferred in order to avoid the very dangerous avalanches of the Grand Montoir. In addition, the Anglette and Chappuis forest trails are closed to traffic at this time of the year (closed from the first snow to the thaw in April or May, depending on the conditions).
