Steps

1/ From the carpark, take the path that climbs into the forest in direction of Prafeu,Then go onto a section of tarmac road, cross a small meadow, and follow a forest track up to the Marteloscope site.
2/ The path continues to climb steeply to the Montangelier cross roads where you can take a detour to see the "bear pit". Follow the forest track which ascends on your left, until the slope is too steep and continue on a path which zigzags to the clearing before arriving to the Belvedere of the White Roc.
3/ Go on a path in the direction of the rising sun, after crossing the 4x4 track that goes up to the Servaz mountain pasture. You will discover the pistes of the Sambuy and the village of Seythenex.
