Location supplement
From Le Bourg-d'Oisans, take the RD1091 towards Grenoble. In the village of Les Sables, after the hairpin bend and church, turn left at the sign «Ch. de Courbe». The road becomes a track as it gets closer to the mountain. At the end, carry on to the left for 200 m and park opposite the «Sources des Arriveaux» sign (there are also some places 100 m before the sign). Warning: The access has been modified due to a mudslide. Follow the path behind the sign, follow the dike and go up on the right bank of La combe de Farfayet. Walk up to a path. Turn left and follow it along the flat for 15 mins. (a section goes along the foot of the cliffs and past a large pillar). Look out for a path on the right in the scree. If you go past it, you will see the cliff up on the right.
