(S/E) Cross the bridge over the Mezelet. Take theGR®5opposite, marked in white and red, start the climb and reach the wooden footbridge securing the crossing.
(1) Continue on, passing a few hairpin bends and then an easier path, until you reach the footbridge spanning the Ruisseau de la Pisse.
(2) Cross the stream and you will easily reach Lac Miroir. Walk along its right bank and you will find a crossroads of paths at its southern tip.
(3) Leave theGR® on your left and take the balcony path on your right. Join theGR® again at the Sainte-Anne ski lift.
(4) Carry on along it and continue the climb to reach Lac Sainte-Anne. Walk past the chapel to reach a crossroads of paths.
(5) Leave theGR® here and take the yellow-marked path on the left. Follow the ski run until you reach a crossroads.
(6) Turn right onto the balcony path, reach the Torrent du Col Tronchet and cross it to quickly rejoin the Col du Tronchet path.
(7) Turn left onto it and continue the descent until you reach the Chaurionde car park and its facilities.
(8) Cross the stream via the footbridge and continue along the left bank through the forest, keeping your distance from the stream. When you reach a junction, turn right to cross the stream with care, as whilst crossing the stream was straightforward in August, it may not always be easy. Join the forest road, follow it to the left for a few metres and reach a Y-junction.
