The dolmen of Le Thyl is not a true dolmen, it is one stone resting on the other which served as a rock shelter. On the top of the stone, there is a groove widened to allow the flow of rainwater. On each side of the "dolmen" there are artificial caves whose walls and ceiling are made with stone walling.

Nearby (about an hour's walk) there are engraved stones (wells, footprint...). I did not have time to go to the engraved stones.

To get there from Saint Michel de Maurienne, you need to climb toward Le Thyl du Dussus. Go to the end of the road and follow an earth trackway for 10 minutes on foot. The site is very well marked.
