From the Grandes Platières cable car departure station (Flaine forum), follow signs for “Les Grands Vans”. At “Balacha” (Flaine Forêt), continue towards “Les Grands Vans”. At the beginning of the summer season, when the snow is melting, you will find a beautiful waterfall along the way! When you reach “Les Bois de Flaine” head towards the “Col de Pierre Carrée”. This trail traverses a mass of beautiful vegetation to “Le milieu des bois”, where you need to follow signs for the “Bergerie de Véret”. The first part is gentle, but then gets very steep as you climb beside the stream. The path skirts the wetlands and the Veret sheepfold before coming out onto the lake. At the “Bergerie de Véret”, follow signs for “Vernant”. Once over the Col de Véret, you will come to the Lac de Vernant. Head back to Flaine via the “Col de Pierre Carrée”. After walking down through the forest, take the same route back to the starting point.
