Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
Start at Place de la Grenette (where you’ll see a wooden gnome holding a sign), follow the sign for ‘Sur Villeneuve’, pass between the restaurant La Pointe Percée and the Vuillet bakery, and go under the designer boutique L’Augusta to reach Chemin de la Forclaz. Walk straight up the sloping alleyway, stopping to admire the wood carvings. Cross Route du Chinaillon, continue straight up until you reach a flight of steps, then cross a second road to join the path. Keep following the sign for “Sur Villeneuve”. At the junction, turn right onto La Communaille. Walk through the hamlet of La Communaille, at the end of which you’ll find the first information panel about the rocks. Reach the forest by following the “orientation table” sign to rejoin the path. Information boards line the path, which winds its way up through the forest. Arrive at Haut de Villeneuve, head down to the “Sur Villeneuve” orientation table, then descend to Villeneuve and rejoin the Chemin de la Forclaz.
