Hiking - Tour of Lac du Lou

The delightful tranquillity of the mountain lakes is the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of human activity .

The convenient and steady path makes up for the difference in height. The soul of the natural site is brought by the calm waters of Lac du Lou.

From the car park, take the path that rises to the balcony above the Plan de l´Eau and follow it to the Refuge du Lac du Lou (about 1 hour). From the refuge, join the lake edge (2,035m) and take the path that runs to the right. Cross the ´Revers´ torrent over the long footbridge. After this, the trail rises on a promontory (belvedere) and then gœs back down to the left where it runs once again along the edge of the lake. Continue this way on the bank to then cross the footbridge under the refuge and join the ascent path to the refuge. The car park is only about 1 hour downhill.

Families and individuals who aren’t particularly athletic may be content with the return journey to the refuge where they can benefit from the magnificent sight of the lake and the valley.
