From the SMC funicular station, head towards the center of the resort. At the height of the Post Office, take the stairs leading to the Bernese Clinic or continue for 50 meters then follow the road to the clinic. Go around this building along the small lake then take the road that leads to the forest. Then follow the signs for Promenade du 100e marked with a small green squirrel. At the bench, take some hazelnuts. The squirrels will soon arrive.
