(S/E) From the Conand car park, take the road heading north-west towards the centre of Conand. Take the small lane on the right between the buildings. Continue along Chemin de la Boissière, which makes a large circular loop.
(1) On the outskirts of Chantignieux, ignore the path on the right that becomes tarmac and take the path on the left under the telephone poles. Reach Chantigneux. At the crossroads, turn left behind the cross. Descend past a large farm.
(2) At the Croix de la Rivoire crossroads, go straight ahead. Then, before the forest, in a right-hand bend, take the path on the left. After 100 m, turn left again heading east. Then stay on the path, keeping to the right and then left on the Route de la Rivoire until you reach Indrieux.
(3) At the crossroads (Croix), continue straight ahead towards Argis, then immediately take the path on the right behind the house. After walking 1.3 km uphill, at the edge of the woods, at an altitude of 790 m, take the path on the left that goes uphill.
(4) At the crossroads (elevation 832 m), take the path on the right that slopes gently southwards.
(5) You will reach the Croix de Mortier: orientation table and picnic area. Continue along the road to the crossroads and turn right towards Arandas. Cut across the road to the south by turning right in front of the cross, then, 50 m further on, cross the road and reach the centre of the village via Rue de la Gallardière.
(6) In Arandas, take the D104 on the left. After 80 m, continue along Rue de la Cure. Follow the road to the stop sign. Turn left, then immediately right onto the road that climbs towards a large farm.
(7) At the end of the road, ignore the first path on the right and take the second one that passes under the telephone relay. Walk along the meadow for 300 m from the crossroads, then cross the meadow on the right (gate). There are no signs, but on the other side of the meadow you will see closely spaced fence posts that form a passageway for walkers.
(8) After crossing the fence, turn right and head north-west.
Warning: From this point onwards, the path is not very visible but is well marked by red markings close together at eye level on the trees. The path becomes very steep and requires you to use your hands.
Carefully follow the markings, which turn back south and lead to the wild Cra viewpoint, with a view of Conand.
(9) From the viewpoint, retrace your steps for about 30 m and take the path on the left, heading northwest. Passage against the cliff with cable. In the difficult descent, still marked in red, the path heads north then south to the road. Turn right, heading northwest to the car park (S/E).
Do not attempt the descent when the ground is slippery.
