From Cluses, head towards Le Reposoir. 2.5 km before the village, park on the outside of a large right-hand bend (large sign "Vous entrez au pays du Reblochon fermier"). The cliff, a large grey slab, is visible from the car park. On foot, walk along the road in the direction of Cluses, then turn left onto a path towards the "Ruine de Porte d'Age". Pass under the ruin. 15 meters further on (before the first chalets), take a path on the right. You arrive at the edge of a meadow which you follow on the right to quickly enter the woods. The path continues straight down the slope to the cliff.
