This excursion has many points of geological/educational entertainments. The path, although easy, has various vertiginous and narrow ways that require a continuous refraining and holding of kids. This is the proposal:

Access: | From CERN taking motorway in direction of Chamonix/MontBlanc. Get out in the exit to Archamps. Turn right to Archamps village. Arriving to a turn around point take to the left towards Archamps village. Continue along the road and after passing below the motorway take to the right in direction to Collonges-sous-Saleve. After passing by the Open market loan take the first deviation to the right and continue all along for about 2 km until you arrive to a crossing point where you are forced to take either to the right or to the left. Take to the left. Some 50 m after take the first road to the right that drives you to a parking place. Park there. Driving time from my place: 40 minutes |

It is convenient to emphasize some useful items: please do not forget to carry on (wear) raincoat, hat/cap and sun glasses, warm gloves, hiking boots or sport-footwear with thick and non-slipping sole, enough food and drinks for the own consumption. Spear dry clothes and after excursion confortable shoes are very convenient.
Have a lovely weekend! Cheers! Jose.
