Hiking - Lac des Cerces and the three lakes

This hike, located at the heart of a triangle formed by the Grand Galibier (3228 m, West summit), Mont Thabor (3178 m), and the Aiguilles d'Arves (3514 m), will introduce you to a wealth of stunning scenery.

A magical hike among alpine lakes, facing the summit of the Grand Galibier.

From the Plan Lachat car park, follow the military track to the Mottets barns, then take the path on the right towards Lac des Cerces. At the lake, turn left onto the GR 57 trail in the direction of Col des Cerces. After crossing the pass, the path descends between Lac Rond and Lac du Grand Ban. Go around them on the right, then continue towards Col des Rochilles, and then the camp of the same name. Follow the track back to les Mottets and then Plan Lachat.
