ITINERARY

Parking is available in the parking lot opposite the Musée du Rivier.

From Le Rivier, walk from the church and follow the tarmac road to the Bruyant stream. From here, take the path that rises steeply through a forest of spruces and hardwoods to exit at 1700 m.
Continue due west through rhododendron and bilberry vegetation.
This leads to a well-marked, easy-to-follow path that climbs up several rocky steps.
This passage requires attention but is not technically difficult.
Pieces of the wreck are gradually revealed. Climb back up to the commemorative plaque (2100 m).
On the return journey (which takes the same route), a visit to the Maison du Bouquetin and the York Mallory space is a must.
Good plans : After the walk, a visit to the Museum is a must. Free and open weekends from 15/06 to 30/06 and from 1 to 15 September. And daily in July and August from 11.15am to 1pm and from 2pm to 5.30pm.

Opening : From 01/05 to 31/10 daily. Subject to favorable snow and weather conditions.
