From Le Grand-Bornand Village, follow the road that leads to Col de la Colombière pass, and 1 km before reaching Chinaillon, turn left (a direction sign will read "école d'escalade," which means "climbing area"). Follow the road and the arrows for approximately 3 km. The pavement ends for the last 300 meters prior to reaching the parking lot, which is located just after a small grove of trees.
