From the ridge, with its view over the Bourg d'Oisans plain, go down towards La Molière on the 4-WD track and then take the track down to Les Deux Alpes.
The second option, which is a little more technical: from the Restaurant de la Molière, take the balcony path to Le Sapey (take care as it's quite tricky).

Cyril Jouvin and Sylvain Peguy make and sell génépi liqueur in their workshop using a traditional method that brings back the authentic taste of génépi.Having inherited the expertise required to make génépi from their families, Cyril Jouvin and Sylvain Peguy decided to create their own brand, carrying out the entire liqueur-making process in their workshop in Les Deux Alpes. Their product is organic and made entirely from French-grown ingredients. Customers can therefore see all the stages of the manufacturing process and taste the liqueurs in the shop. Although they are currently only making génépi, they have plans to make liqueur from other plants, such as the gentian growing in their fields… always taking care to create a high-quality, crafted product. yril and Sylvain started out in autumn 2017 and having completed their first winter and summer seasons, are delighted with how their liqueur has been received. They really enjoy taking time to explain the process and welcoming customers into their shop.
