Start from the Lac de Sagnes car park.
(S/E) From the car park, take the footbridge and give the small private property a wide berth *.
(1) Join the well-marked path which runs past the large scree slopes on your left and follows the lakeshore.
(2) When you reach the wooded area, look for a path on the right (there are several that merge slightly – these are fishermen’s tracks) and head for a footbridge made of a few tree trunks laid side by side. Follow the track along the edge of the woods until you reach a house situated slightly higher up on the left. Continue along the path past the house.
(3) You’ll soon reach a well-marked path leading to a fairly wide but shallow river. **
Please note: the only option is to take off your shoes and wade across. Make the most of the small islands and look for areas where the river is wide and shallow; the water shouldn’t be deeper than knee-height in summer.
Head up the opposite bank to reach a track suitable for vehicles, turn right and, whilst enjoying the lovely views of the lake, make your way to the lake car park (S/E).
