You can park in the parking lot on the left before the Coche reservoir and follow the path marked "Mont Cuchet".

The plateau de Lachat (benches and picnic table, barbecue area) is the ideal place to take a break or have a picnic.

Then cross the plateau and follow the signs to Mont Cuchet.

The view from this vantage point is incredible, and you can use the two viewing tables to see Mont-Blanc, Grande Casse, Grand-Perron and Niélard, among others.
