Start from the town hall or the church.
Go up the road toward the crossroad walking by the inter-municipal school (Saint Jean d’Arves and Saint Sorlin d’Arves) where 35 kids go, as well as the public library. Cross the road towards the path bordered with ancestral willows. Keep walking up until reaching the hamlet “Le Collet”. You will arrive close to the chapel Sainte Brigide, through the door window you can have a peak inside.
Keep walking on the main road until you find yourself at the bottom of the dirt road to Le Col d’Arves that used to lead to Saint Jean de Maurienne. Keep walking on the main road until you reach the orientation table where you can read the landscape. At the end of the road, further away is the hamlet “Le Mollard”. You can walk through it and see the traditional farmhouses.
Come back down the road and when you are at the chapel, take the road on your right. 150m below, a yellow sign will indicate a shortcut to the snow front, otherwise follow the road (an extra 600m on the road).
If you parked your car next to the town hall, take a left at the end of the road.
