Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
From the car park, follow a path that departs from the upstream side of the road, and leads to the Pic de Marcelly. Quick uphill walk into the pastures, to the bend where you’ll find Planey ski lift. Here, there is a track to the left for a detour via Le Planey (viewpoint). Then carry on to the ski lift arrival station, and go along the rocky path into the forest. This is an uphill section but it not particularly difficult. When you leave the forest, the narrow footpath quickly leads to the northern side of the Pic de Marcelly summit. Come back via Gron pastures.
