Park in the Fond de Chaurionde car park, located at the end of the D60 road that climbs up the Mélezet valley from Ceillac. Be sure to set off early in the morning as the car park fills up quickly in summer.
Signposts are present at major crossroads.
(S/E) At the bottom of the car park, take a footbridge over a stream. On the other side, at a fork, take the left-hand path towards Lac Sainte-Anne and Col du Tronchet. Follow this stony path and walk along the stream on your left.
(1) Cross the stream via a footbridge and follow a path that winds its way up through the forest. This will take you to a fork marked by a signpost.
(2) Turn right towards Lac Sainte-Anne. Climb then descend slightly into the forest, which is becoming lighter.
(3) Cross the stream again and turn right. Walk northwest on a slight downhill slope. The trail climbs again. A rocky section can be crossed without difficulty. Continue climbing on a moderate slope.
(4) Leave the forest and cross a grassy area, which is almost flat, with the peaks overlooking Lac Sainte-Anne (which is not yet visible) in your line of sight. Then climb up a path, leaving a track that runs almost parallel to the left.
(5) Cross the track and continue on the path opposite. After a few hairpin bends, you will reach Lake Sainte-Anne and its small chapel of the same name.
(6) Return via the same route in reverse. At the various signposts, follow the direction of Parking de Chaurionde (S/E).
