Set off to discover the small wild lakes — Claret, Punay, and Poursollet — by following this charming little trail through the lush forest on the slopes of the Taillefer.
Recommended starting point: Comboursière car park.
The Three Lakes Trail offers a total change of scenery. The view over the surrounding mountains is breathtaking. In the forest, discover Claret, Punay, and Poursollet lakes — charming wild lakes with crystal-clear water that are sure to amaze you.
Itinerary:
From the heart of the resort, take the Route du Poursollet, which leads you to the lake of the same name. After about 7 km, at Combe Oursière, you’ll see a memorial on your right dedicated to fallen soldiers: the Combe Oursière car park is just a few meters further.
Leave your vehicle there and follow the Grande Randonnée trail (marked in red and white) that starts on the right side of the road. This trail occasionally intersects the road before reaching Lake Poursollet. The return is via the same route.
Caution!
You are in a protected natural area. Please stay on marked trails, keep your dog on a leash, do not light fires, and take your waste with you or to the nearest bin. Respect and preservation of this environment are essential!
