Directions
Start on the ski road to the north first and then leave it in a bend and go straight on. After the clearing, take the path on the left which makes an arc around the point 1822 meters, then go back south and join the “bar des neiges”. Go up the ski slope on the ridge up to the top of the La Chaux ski lift then continue on the ridge before turning left to reach the top of the Tour de Bavon.
This itinerary can be strongly shortened by using the ski lifts.
