Go left from the museum, then take the first left for

departmental road to the hamlet of Ponants. Follow it,
take the pedestrian footbridge over La Romanche (rather than the bridge) and continue across the
Ponants, one of the original hamlets of Livet-et-Gavet.
The road turns into a track again (chemin de la
Vineyard) for a small kilometer.
To reach the Himalayan footbridge, take the path on the right which goes down and passes in front of one of the bouldering sites popular with enthusiasts.
Take the footbridge and continue along the path to the

hamlet of Roberts following the road.
In the hamlet follow the Roberts road (2nd on the left)
which turns into a track. Join Livet by crossing
again the RD 1091. The Vernes factory is in front of you.
