From Lac Chavants make your way north past the tennis courts and enter the trail that takes you into the forest. This is a lovely area of rolling hills and little streams in a nice forest area. At the end of the trail you will reach a junction where you will take a right turn towards Vaudagne. This is a wide 4x4 trail and will have some steep sections with lose scree. You will be approaching the Vaudagne trainstation but before you reach it, you will take a left turn towards Vaudagne and take a trail that takes you westward into the forest. You will pass by a big house in the forest and enter a paved road which will connect with the main road going to Vaudagne. Stay on this main road until you reach the village. There is footpath that will take you to the top of the village which is basically a short cut between the switch backs that the main road takes. At the end of the trail going up the village, you will see another trail going up the hill next to a pasture. Take this trail which will take you to the Alpage de Charousse, a beautfil Alpine pasture with a few farm houses and a nice backdrop of the Mont Blanc. Follow the trail which will pass through the farm houses and end up in a forest trail. Follow this trail which will turn into paved road at La Creuse and the first houses above Les Chavants will appear. Keep following the paved road till it meets the Route des Aillouds. You will see a pedestrian trail across the road called the Chemin de la Bovresse. Take this trail which will end up at the Route des S'Nailles which is a straight paved road down the hill towards the Tennis Courts near Lac Chavants.
