Hiking - Lac de l'Hivernet

In a green setting, this route offers many and varied landscapes: forest: rock, meadows and, finally, the Lac de l'Hivernet.
Serre-Ponçon is another high-altitude lake, like the Lac de l'Hivernet which lies at 2,400 metres above sea level, below the Tête de l'Hivernet mountain. The ascent initially leads through a shaded larch forest abounding with wild species. Then a second, more challenging section rises up a steep sunny slope, below rock bars of curious geological shape. Your efforts will be rewarded with your arrival at the lake.
Note that the Lac de l'Hivernet is not fed with water all year round, as is the case during the summer period.
