Hiking - Lovitel lake and the Clots refuge

A peaceful walk up to the small Lovitel lake and the Clots refuge on a lovely elevated footpath overhanging Chambon lake and Romanche.

"On a hard Autumn day, I hike towards Lovitel lake. The rain accompanies me. The small lake nestling in the curves of the lower mountain shelf seems to be sleeping. It is calm, magnificent and full of promise: in the summer months, you can see the Purple Loosestrife flowering here, you can hear the Common Midwife Toad "singing", you can see the Meije looming in the distance... Without a doubt : I have to come back !"


S. Durix, Park Ranger in Oisans 

Elevated footpath, sometimes very high up, keep a close eye on children. Footpath totally inadvisable in the winter !
