On the road between Marignier and Châtillon-sur-Cluses, take the direction Rontalon/Le Crot. Go up the road until you find yourself on a ridge separating the two sides (place called "Sur le Coux"). Park a little further on in the hamlet. Follow the direction of "Mont Orchez" (sign for the hike): a slightly downhill tarmac road, then a carriage road and finally a good path that quickly becomes steep and uphill. After about 30 minutes of walking, you reach a fork in the path, where it is more or less horizontal, at the foot of a rocky bar. The path descends a little. 15 metres before a large scree, leave the path and climb upwards to the right. A ramp to the left leads to the start of the routes.
