From Nancroix - la Chenarie :
At the chapel of la Chenarie, cross the bridge and head towards the hamlet of Pracompuet, then ND des Vernettes along old mule tracks. Then take the path that goes north towards the Entreporte pass.
From the station: head towards ND des Vernettes and take the first path on the left towards the Rey plateau and then the Entreporte pass.
At the col d'Entreporte, go down to the alpage de la Chail (abandoned) and then to the isolated house of la Grangette by a pastoral track and join the forest of Carroz-Blanc.
At the first bend, take the path that passes under the Aiguille Rousse, except in bad weather.
Just before crossing the main stream, people returning to Nancroix stay in the Carroz Blanc forest: path on the left. Those going back to the resort cross the Poncette stream and go back to Les Vernettes and then the resort.
Difficulties: Good walkers with good footing. A lot of unevenness. Several aerial or tricky passages. Possible rock falls. In stormy weather on the way down: stay on the pastoral track. Easy return to the station from la Chenarie. No drinking water upstream of Les Vernettes.
