Most of the peaks (7 of 10 ) can be reached through the Sentiers Frontaliers. These are maintained by a non-profit association. Two peaks can be reached by following the border clearing from the Sentiers Frontaliers. The last one can be reached by following the road of la Réserve de chasse et pêche Arnold and going on one of the trail that goes in the direction of the border.
In any case, you never have to do a non-legal border crossing. The challenge can be done on both sides of the border but the .gpx submitted are from Canadian side.
