From Briançon, take the Col d'Izoard road to Cervières. Turn left onto the Route des Fonts (signposted, pass the church). Park in the car park after Les Aîttes near the old La Chau farms.
The La Chau farms are visible from the track and accessible via a path that you will take on the way back.
(S/E) Leave this path on your right and take the trail on the left (north) towards Lac des Sarailles. This trail then heads northwest
(1) Go around the lake on the left and continue climbing.
(2) At the next intersection (Cabane de douaniers), turn right towards Chenaillet.
(3) At the summit, descend towards the Collet Vert to the east (not marked on the map, but signposted). You will see some steps and you will have to pass a handrail (see video).
On the small pass, follow the ridge eastwards then north-eastwards until you reach an intersection.
(4) Take the path on the right heading south-east. Pass a first unnamed lake (on your right) then Lac Noir.
(5) Continue your descent south and pass the Bergerie des Fraches.
(6) Descend La Chau and enter the hamlet of old farms.
(7) Take the path heading south-west to rejoin the track, then follow it back up to the car park (S/E).
