Hiking - Lake Sainte Marguerite

Lake Sainte-Marguerite is well worth the effort, offering a peaceful setting ideal for a picnic or a refreshing break. It ‘s a pleasant destination to head for with children.

The first part of this hike takes place in the shade of some ancient larch trees, after which the landscape opens up and leads to summer pastures, sometimes described as "cow mountains" by the most experienced mountaineers. The lake, which is hidden from view until the final effort, then appears beneath the peaks reflected in its crystal-clear waters. No need to climb any higher to appreciate the freshness of the setting!
