In front of the Tourist Office, go in the direction of the Haut Val d’Arly Museum; continue on the “Route des Perchets” and after a short uphill climb, turn right in the direction of the “Chemin de Lady”. Then follow the directions for Tour and Lake Javen. You will pass near the Caboche cable car (restaurant).
