Description of the route by the creator
Park at the first large parking lot after the signs for the beginning of the nature park. The path begins by following the road to the old Bellevaux Abbey. Continue along the same path, following the river on the left. Then follow the signs to the Chalets des Gardes. Turn right to go up to the Mont d'Armenaz. Once at the top of the Mont d'Armenaz, go down towards the Pécloz and then up to the top of the Pécloz. Once at the top of Pécloz, you can either go down the previous path and join the chalets de Gardes or go straight down to join the parking. This last path is quite steep but without technical difficulties.
