Departure from Col du Wettstein, easy parking, even during busy periods.
(S/E) Take the track opposite the D11.6, leave the Chevalet Jaune marked path towards the Musmiss farmhouse inn, which is the way back, and turn onto theGR®532which climbs to the right, marked with a yellow rectangle. Leave the forest and continue straight ahead until you reach a junction.
(1) Continue straight ahead until you reach a house on your left.
(2) Enjoy the view of the Orbey valley and the Lapoutroie massif, then continue to Lac Noir.
(3) After a short break to read the information boards about the life and demise of the power station, take the red-white-red marked stony path on the left which climbs uphill – a little effort is required here. Cross the forest track forthe first time and take the path opposite, then rejoin the forest track.
(4) Turn left onto this path, marked with a red disc, and continue to the top of the trail.
(5) This is a lovely spot for a picnic, with views of the Munster Valley and the Grand Ballon in the distance. Continue along the path opposite, marked with a red disc. It descends to Lac des Truites (or Lac Forlet).
(6) After enjoying the spot, take the small path on the right that descends behind the dam, marked with a red triangle, and follows the stream along a cool, shaded path. Walk along a car park and cross a track twice. Reach the next fork with a small path on the left (be careful not to miss it).
(7) Turn onto this small path, marked with a red triangle. At the track, continue a few metres to the left, then at the three-way junction that follows, turn right. At the edge of the forest, continue along the edge and make a wide loop to the left. You will reach a fork.
(8) Leave the red triangle markings and go down a few wooden steps, then continue straight ahead towards Col du Wettstein, marked with a yellow easel. After a loop to the right, enter the woods, cross a transverse path and then leave the woods after making a wide left turn.
(9) At the fork, take a sharp right towards Ferme Musmiss, following the yellow signposts.
(10) Pass the Musmiss farmhouse and continue along the track to Col du Wettstein (S/E).
