Refreshment bar and small restaurant. This route follows the Vallée Blanche exit created in 1968 to facilitate the exploitation of the woods and the return of the skiers to the valley. From the level crossing, go up the Planards ski run along the Montenvers railroad. Leave the Montenvers path on the right and continue straight on the path at the bottom of the meadow. Continue in the forest until the farm of Planards where you cross the Montenvers train line. After a few switchbacks, go up to the couloir d'Orthaz (beware of falling rocks) and go up the bends of the Cé. Follow a long false flat: the track cuts the path coming from the woods and, after the Filiaz corridor, it leaves the forest, climbs the red rocks and arrives at the viewpoint.
30 minutes more walking you can reach the Montenvers site.
Another possible route from Les Bois.
