Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
1/ From the start sign, follow the pond to the left. Follow the road to the hamlet of Corrioux-Hauts. At the fork (cross), turn right onto the road, which continues along a wide path. Ignoring the paths on your left, continue to the first path on your right. Take this for a 10-minute round trip to a pontoon on the edge of the pond (view of the pond). Return to the main path. Turn right, leaving the first track on your right. Continue to a second path on the right.
2/ Follow it, cross a pond inlet on a pontoon and walk through a wood. At the T junction, go right to the next junction with a track on the left.
3/ Take this, leaving two paths on your left, then cross over a pontoon. At the intersection, keep right and return to the starting point.
