Itinerary description

Park in Siviez. Walk South in the general direction of the dam, leaving the stream (la Printse) on your left. When you get to a wooden bridge at Plan de Poë, cross it and keep walking straight. Hopefully you will see traces to lead you, if not, the task is to get to the route following an unmarked trail - just follow a path that is not crazy steep. Then take the route to the dam. Return following yellow trail descending steeply on the West side of the dam and then towards Pra Mounet. When I got to the route from Tortin to Siviez I found a skitouring trail that took me down back to la Printse. Then the route to the parking.

I'm rating it easy because, well, it is, for the most part. Except the descent on the West side of the dam. If you are new to this, snow conditions are not awesome, etc. take the route down then switch to yellow trail at the toe of the dam in the direction of Pra Mounet.

The trail along the lake may become difficult or impossible depending on the amount of snow and its condition, it is also exposed to avalanches. Check https://slf.ch/ before going there.
