District:
Park in the large car park at Lake Saint-André.
(S/E) Head south-west towards the village of Saint-André. At the crossroads with the Chapareillan road, turn right and continue for 100 metres.
(1) Take the path that climbs to the left and join the Apremont road. Follow it to the left for 20 metres, then turn right onto Chemin des Fromagets. Follow this path for 50 metres.
(2) Head straight ahead onto a path that climbs through the vineyards. After 200 metres, it turns sharply left onto a winding steep path that leads to the Croix de Saint-André.
Retrace your steps up the steep path to rejoin Chemin des Fromagets.
(2) Take this path, turning right to reach a four-way intersection (crossroads).
Continue straight ahead on the small road to reach Chemin des Candy, then turn right.
(3) Shortly afterwards, turn left onto Chemin du Grand Pré, cross Route d'Apremont and you will come out onto Chemin de Saint-André. Follow this road, turning right at the fork.
(4) At the next Y-shaped intersection, turn left onto Chemin des Eaux.
After passing a group of buildings, turn left at a right angle. Stay on this path and pass a vineyard.
At the next intersection, turn right onto the stony path that runs between two abandoned buildings. After a short climb, the path emerges onto a plateau. Head south to Chemin de la Jacquère, where you should turn right to join Chemin des Essarts. Take this path to the left and continue until you pass under the high-voltage power line.
(5) Take the first path on the left (signposted), ignoring a path on the left.
(6) At the next intersection, above the village of La Palud, turn left. The path descends slightly towards a vineyard, then the descent becomes steeper and the path passes under the high-voltage power line again, ending at an intersection.
(7) Follow the vineyard paths to a small building on the edge of Chemin des Côtes.
Go down to the left towards the Croix de Verpi crossroads.
At the crossroads, head straight ahead onto Chemin de Bellecombe, which will take you to the hamlet of Saint-André. Descend to the right onto Route d'Apremont.
The Lac de Saint-André will soon come into view. Follow the road or turn right and descend along the vineyard paths (option shown on the map). Cross the D12 (take care) and head for the lake, first heading east, then north-east and finally east again to reach the car park by the lake (S/E).
