From Lake Noir to Lake Besson

This easy hike gives you access to beautiful scenic landscapes, facing the Belledonne mountain range.

You are at 2100m above sea level and on this large plateau of lakes, explore the peaceful expanses where skiers cannot gain access with their skis, only via hiking. Popular in the summer, the hiking lakes offer equally great sensations in winter. This is the only time of the year where you can cross! Take your time: there are so many panoramas to observe, along the ridges ... It is also an opportunity to optimise your technique and enjoyment of nature.
