To enter Mountaintops of the Giants, you must obtain the Rold Medallion from Melina after defeating Morgott, the Omen King in Leyndell, Royal Capital.
To get to the Grand Lift of Rold, head down to Leyndell's main street from the East Capital Rampart Site of Grace.

Move eastward along the Forbidden Lands till you reach the Grand Lift of Rold. Be careful, as visibility is low and there is a Black Blade Kindred boss in front of the Lift. It's better to use Torrent and ride all the way towards the end of this area.
Use the Rold Medallion on the Lift and you will be taken to the West Mountaintops of the Giants. Move forward a bit into the area and you will find the map fragment along the path.
How to Unlock the Map and All Map Fragment Locations

To reach the map fragment, you must head to the topmost part of West Mountaintops of the Giants and circle back down to the east. Head down south and find a way up the mountain while moving past the enemy barricades of Guardians' Garrison. Cross a giant chain bridge and you will find the map fragment beside a Site of Grace at the other end.

To get to this region of the map, you must find both parts of the Haligtree Secret Medallion and use it in the Grand Lift of Rold. Make it past the Hidden Path to the Haligtree and out into the Consecrated Snowfield. Follow the glowstones to make your way through the snowstorm. The map fragment will be on a monument across a river.
This map fragment also reveals the location of Miquella's Haligtree, a Legacy Dungeon that houses powerful enemies, and Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
