Park at the Col de l'Arzelier; parking is easy.
(S/E) From the pass, turn your back on the Deux Soeurs (the two peaks on the Vercors ridge) and take the gently sloping tarmac path to reach the “Les Anémones” sign 100 m away. Turn left towards Prélenfrey, and descend alongside a stream through the forest. At the junction with the D8b road, follow it to the left towards the hamlet of L’Arzelier, then cross it to rejoin the path towards Prélenfrey. Join the same road again further down, at a place called Le Chatelard, and cross it once more.
(1) At the “Chatelard” sign, take the steep path climbing to the right, marked in yellow and green. After a series of hairpin bends, reach the ridge.
(2) Take in the view at the highest point of the ridge and continue along it as it now descends gently.
(3) At the “Pré du Playnet” sign, do not descend to the right towards the Col de l’Arzelier (unless, perhaps, to shorten the hike), but continue along the ridge, which climbs briefly before descending for a long stretch until you reach a flat area below, at the Col de Soliet. Keep an eye out for the yellow-green markings in this flatter section.
(4) At the "Col de Soliet" sign, head towards the Col de l'Arzelier to the right (note: the direction is indicated on the back of the sign) via a lovely descent through the forest, marked with yellow-green signs. You will reach a small road.
(5) Follow this road to the right towards Col de l'Arzelier (sign) until you reach a junction.
(6) At the Pont des Runes junction (sign), head up the tarmac road to the right towards Col de l'Arzelier. The road quickly turns into a good track. You’ll reach Les Anémones, then the car park on the left (S/E).
