Itinerary description
Parking at Pont Bourquin just a bit up from les Diablerets. Take yellow trail on the West side of the bridge in the direction of Isenau. At les Moilles follow the route to la Marnèche. From there all you have is tracks of skitourers. Locate the Col des Andérets and follow the tracks in its direction. The route to Isenau is not visible. Try to navigate so that you arrive a little up and a little to the East of Isenau. Keep going up aiming at the lowest point of the ridge between la Palette (East) and Floriette (North). One way or another you'll end up at the Col des Andérets. Descent to la Marnèche more or less following the same route. From la Bouvette de la Marnèche locate tracks going South. Descend to lac Retaud. Lake was nicely frozen, I was able to cross over the ice. From there you can descend to Col du Pillon, I took a detour through le Rard. One way or another you'll end up at the route du Pillon, close to the Glacier 3000 cable car station. Right at the route turn hard right to stay on its North side to follow Chemin de la Grand Moille (not visible at all in the snow but the trail was marked with the pink-ish/violet-ish thingies indicating snowshoeing trail). Once you get to Fenil du Rang you'll see yellow trail marks pointing to Pont Bourquin - right hard turn. Soon you'll get to a fork, turn left. Descent to the parking is kind of steep-ish here and there but doesn't present problems.
