Parking de Chaffardon, Route de Lovettaz, 73230 Saint-Jean-d'Arvey
Discover the Bronze Age cave paintings that are exceptional in our region, at the foot of the Mont Peney cliffs. A short but steep hike in a beautiful forest.
D/ Chaffardon parking lot 1/ Follow the sign "départ des randonnées". 2/ At the "Lanceney" point, take the road to the panorama reading table, then follow the "sentier du marcassin". 3/ At the next intersection, follow "peintures rupestres" (rock paintings). You climb steadily up a wide path through a beech forest, regularly catching glimpses of the Mont Peney cliffs towering above you when the gaps in the trees allow. 4/ Gradually the path narrows and heads east, eventually reaching the foot of the cliffs at the rock paintings. ! Be careful not to go beyond the rock paintings, which are rocky bars! 5/ Return along the same path as before.
