Trailence

Hiking - Lakes tour

A pleasant loop between larch forest, pastures, rocky paving with the added benefit of two lakes in the hollow of a natural cirque.

One summer night, at around 4 a.m, we were woken by the throaty, insistent call of a rock ptarmigan. The small grassy plateau overlooking the valley where we had put up our bivouac was in its territory and it was letting us know.

The footpath that gives access to Dormillouse is only practicable in the summer. Reminder: no camping even near to the car park.
 A flock is present on the pastures and "Patou" dogs ensure their protection. Avoid passing through the flock.
