Hiking - The Pétarel Lakes via Les Portes

This ascent leads through a cool, discreet forest atmosphere to an open landscape, exposed to the heat of the sun.

Making your way through the forest, a shadow passes a few yards away. I stand still and watch this unknown figure, which is looking at me with surprise and seems to be saying: “what kind of creature are you? - you're not a chamois."

Crossing the torrent may prove dangerous when the current is strong (you cross the ford).

Please note that only bivouacking is authorised (from 7 p.m. to 9 a.m.) and waste must be taken away to preserve the site.
