Park in the car park at the lower station of the Touvet funicular.
(S/E) From the Saint-Hilaire-du-Touvet funicular station, go round to the left-hand side of the building and walk alongside the tracks for a few metres before following the path that climbs to the left (signposted ‘Château’). The slope is a bit steep and slippery but doesn’t last long after you’ve passed the water tank. Go round it on the right.
You will soon reach the ruins of Montfort Castle, which feature some beautiful remains and are currently being restored (autumn 2018). A barrier indicates that the site is hazardous; if you cross it, please take care and be mindful of the work in progress.
(1) Return to the path which continues through the undergrowth, occasionally offering views of the cliffs to the right or the valley to the left.
(2) At the junction, turn right and do not follow the path leading down
After a few metres, you will come to a large rock on the right that seems to overlook the drop-off and the path continuing down to the right. Both lead to a sort of small clearing surrounded by a few trees. Continue straight on along the main path, ignoring the track that descends to the left.
(3) Carry on until you reach a larger path.
(4) Take it to the left; after thefirst hairpin bend, you’ll come to asecond one.
(5) Leave the wide path and continue straight ahead onto the track running along the hillside. Here you will come to a junction of tracks marked on the IGN map
(6) Take care here: the path descends to join the one below that leads directly up to the waterfall. Follow the route described in this guide carefully (the path is visible on the OpenStreetMap). You will arrive at the foot of the path leading up to the Crolles waterfall.
(7) Return via the same route to reach the car park where you started (S/E).
