At the church, head west. At the first crossroads (cemetery), turn right, then 200 m further, right again. Follow the stony path that climbs towards the departmental road.

Cross this road and take the path opposite. Walk it for a few hundred meters. We arrive again on the road, take it towards Ordonnaz for 200 m. Then, take a gravel path that heads off to the right. After 200 m, leave it to take a steep path on the right.

Arrived at a crossroads where you notice two large beetles at the edge of a meadow, continue by taking the stony path on the left. After 1 km you come out into the plain of Chanaux. At the crossroads with a new path (which goes towards Ordonnaz), turn right towards Innimond (South-East) for 1,2 km. We then find the forest path that crosses the Charmilles plateau.

At a crossroads of several paths, take the one that goes left from a spruce forest then immediately left again.
After 300 m, take a path also to the left of a spruce forest. This path leads to a path that leads back to Lompnas.

Before attacking the descent, don't miss a round trip leading to a superb view of the Grouin and Marchamp (typical buggery landscape but be careful, cliff).
