From Place Olympique, take the path towards the Chalet de l'Arc and the small Chapelle St Jacques. Take the marked path “Sentier des Lacs” which passes under the St Jacques chairlift and provides access to the lake of the same name. Then go back up under the Varet gondola and continue along the mountainside towards a small flat area overlooking Lac de l'Homme. Continue straight ahead. The path on the right goes down to Lac Marlou. Then take the path on the left which leads to Lac des Moutons.
