From the parking lot of a Croix Saint-Jérôme, follow Le Chemin de la Vallée Close fo 1km up to a sandy area (with the 95.2 on your right and the monument on your left).
For the classical sector (Pignons East and West), go round the 95.2 and take the Chemin du Pied des Monts for 500m/800m.
For the Pignon North sector, follow the Chemin des Cassis for 100m to find the start of the orange circuit n°2. Interesting traverse can also be found 100m further, near the intersection with the 25 Bosses path (Tour des Trois Pignons).
