Coming from Le Châtelard, head towards École then Jarsy. At the bridge, turn right towards La Chapelle de Bellevaux. Park in the first car park (Couvent car park).
(S/E) From the car park, turn right onto Route de la Chapelle de Bellevaux until you reach the first path on the left.
(.1) Take the first path on the left, then the track on the right.
(2) Continue along this road and, after several hairpin bends, take the path on the left
(3) Leave the track and take a path. After the first bend, head for "Le Replat d'en Bas" on the IGN map. The path is well marked. Follow it, ignoring any paths that branch off to the right or left, and head for "Le Replat d'en Haut" and Varapet (1623m) on the IGN map
.4:: Leave the forest and the rock will come into view. Follow the markings to the summit. The route is exposed and falling is not an option. There are a few tricky sections (use your hands or look for easier passages).
(5) From the summit, the descent to L'Armenaz is obvious. Still exposed with a small tricky passage, the rest is mainly small stones rolling underfoot that make it difficult, so watch out for falling rocks.
Continue along the ridge to the summit of L'Armenaz (nothing difficult) except that it is very steep!
(6) From the summit of L'Armenaz, the descent is relatively straightforward. Continue the descent to reach the Chalet d'Armène and the Chalet des Gardes
(7) After Chalet des Gardes, turn left and head to Chapelle de Bellevaux, where the miraculous spring will give you wings to reach the car park
(8) Continue to the fork in the road on the way there.
(3) Take the same route back to the Couvent car park (S/E).
