Park in the Blonnière car park in Dingy Saint Clair (just drive straight up until the road ends).
(S/E) Take the path on the left (sentier du Parmelan). This path is quite steep and takes you above the Chalet Chapuis (there is another slightly less steep path that leads to the Chalet Chapuis; to take it, simply go back down the road for 200-300 metres and then take thefirst path on the right).
When you reach the pass, continue along the path that climbs towards Parmelan (the path that descends will take you to Chalet Chapuis).
From there, follow the classic Parmelan route: Grand Montoir (be careful, this climbs straight up the cliff) or Petit Montoir if you prefer, which is flatter but much longer.
Once you reach the top of Parmelan, enjoy the view (don't forget to take a look at Lake Geneva).
(1) The descent is simple: just pass the refuge and follow the path. There is only one fork with a path that goes down into the plateau; take the other path that runs more or less along the cliff.
The path takes you through sharp limestone pavement and scree, with a few small climbs and quite a few small gullies.
Eventually, you will come to grassy ground. Continue along the path for 5-10 minutes until you reach a large clearing with a series of pools and another intersection. The best-marked path (and the only one with signs) goes to the left, but do not take it; instead, go to the right. Pass to the left of the pools and you will come to a well-marked path.
Follow the path until you see a chalet with another intersection. Take the path on the right that goes to the bottom of a small valley.
Continue along the path and pass the Perthuis pass. You will come to a carriage road, which you should follow for 5 minutes. After a left-hand bend, you will see a small path leading down to the right (just after a tree stump) with a sign for Blonnière.
Just follow it to the car park:
