IGN cards
Description
Want to discover the "green diamond of the Alps"? Then the superb Lac de la Rosière and the Cascade des Poux is definitely your next destination! A natural setting at the foot of the Dent du Villard, with its footbridge across the lake.
Lac de la Rosière Car Park
By shuttle bus (line H), go to the end of the line and get off at the “Lac de la Rosière” stop.
By car, turn left at the first roundabout as you come into Courchevel Moriond, take several sharp bends heading towards Belvédère and take “Route de la Rosière” going downhill on the left, on the same level as the hiking symbol, just after Le Zenith hotel.
It can sometimes be difficult to park at La Rosière, so we recommend that you park at the Cimes Blanches (free covered car park in summer) car park in Courchevel Moriond, and take a shuttle bus that will drop you right at the site entrance.
