From the chapel ND des Vernettes take the path that goes horizontally on the left opposite the chapel towards the Entreporte pass. The path crosses the forest, forks to the right before the combe ski lift.
Stay on the edge of the plateau at the edge of the forest and follow the path upwards. This path crosses the Rey plateau under the shoulder of the Aiguille Grive (quite steep, sometimes tricky passages) then winds through a dolomitic landscape under the cliffs of ochre and grey cargneules of the Aiguille Rousse, before arriving at the Entreporte pass. In the mountain pasture, take the path towards the Col de la Chail. At the first intersection (after the Plan des Eaux chalet) turn right and go down the valley towards Les Rossets. The track continues in the direction of ND des Vernettes. Leave the track at the first bend in the forest of Carro Blanc to take a small steep path that leads to the chapel.
