(S) From Salvan station, cross the railway line and turn right. Head north-east, follow the Chemin du Biolet, passing the Hôtel les Soldanelles. Continue north until you reach the Route des Granges.
(1) Turn left and take the first small road on the right towards the hamlet of Les Granges. Pass the Hotel Balance, heading north, and follow the Via Alpina Rouge trail to the Cabane des Amis du Dailley, where the trail branches off towards the Dailley Gorges.
(2) Follow the signs for La Cascade, cross the bridge and take the impressive stairways, footbridges and galleries to climb up the Dailley Gorges to Van d'en Bas. Cross the Van road and reach the Vallon de Van inn.
(3) From this inn, follow the track westwards and return to the Salanfe road.
(4) Reach the Van d'en Haut campsite via this Salanfe road.
Here you will find the Alpenpässe Weg No. 6 signpost.
(5) On the right of the campsite, continue along the road which, after a left-hand bend, becomes a path. Continue west-northwest until you reach a T-junction.
(6) Take the path on the right, where the elevation is greater. After several hairpin bends and metal steps, you will rejoin the Salante track.
(7) Turn right onto the track which, after two bends, runs alongside the Salanfe torrent to the foot of the dam. Go up to the northern end of the dam and reach a final intersection at the edge of the lake.
(8) Return to the Salanfe hostel, now clearly visible to the north (E).
