Tour of Lac du Lou

Le Lac du Lou
Credit : Chloé TARDIVET

Description

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

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.
