By road from the Marthod exit on the D1212. Drive up to the village, crossing it in the direction of the hamlets of Duines, Bulles and Le Villard for 6 km. The first parking lot (winter) is 1 km upstream. A clear road in summer takes you 3 km to the summer parking lot at 1200 m altitude at "Le Lancheron" or "les Rafforts". You can walk or snowshoe up to the Col de l'Alpettaz, which takes 40 minutes for an average walker, then 10 minutes along the ridge on the forest track.
Reception complements
Access to the interior of the fort is forbidden outside opening hours.
