Very nice hike starting in the woods, then following an impetuous steep mountain torrent, and going along beautiful waterfalls to reach a high mountain lake in a pasture. Please stay on the main trail, as you enter a rich but fragile area. Nature deserves to be protected.
Drive on the road of "Poursollet" and park at the fourth switchback. From there, turn right on the forest flat track nammed "Bonniot" (no-entry sign) which reaches the Louvet shed (where the wolves used to stand) and the very small lake of Prévourey. Cross the vale into the direction of the end of the combe. A trail starts on the slope in line with the river. While the slope is getting less steep, the trail comes closer the torrent and crosses it. Only few switchbacks to reach the other bank, and a right-side traverse up to the spillway. To go down, walk along the lake on your left and reach a little shed, where the way back begins. Cross the summit of "Brouffier", then walk down to the walking indication "Les Fontenettes". Turn left and left again arriving on "Chemin de Bégoud". Walk back "Chemin de Bonniot" to the car park.

Lake-facing hut, very beautiful landscape views.The hut is intended solely for pastoral activity in the summer season.
Very well located hut, with beautiful scenery. Local pastoralism remains .The Louvet's hut is very basic and offers the same comfort as usual in mountain huts, it is a clean and safe place. On the ground floor there is a wood stove and a table with 2 benches. On the first floor there is a sleeping place for a small group. You will find water on a basin near the hut. We recommend up to bring matches and small candles to light your evening. Be sure to take back all your trash with you, there is no toilets and you are in a protected natural area, please keep this in mind.
High altitude lake accessible from the waterfall of l'Alpe du Grand Serre and then the Louvet, fishing is possible. Pretty shed nearby.Lake Bouffier is accessible by several routes, it´s one of the landmarks of the station. Among mountain pastures, it´s likely to listen to the whistling marmots living in this idyllic place. Paradise for fishermen and hikers, it is very easy to reach this beautiful area . Please keep walking on pathes, and don't walk too much on the lake's banks. You are in a very rich but fragile area. Fario trout and rainbow trout presence, AAPPMA Grenoble manager
Beautiful lake in the middle of a cirque of magnificent mountains.

Please don´t go off the path, and don't walk too much on the lake's banks. You are in a very rich but fragile area, Protect nature, it deserves it.
Impetuous mountain torrent, particularly beautiful and cold, nice to go fish and designed to get introduced to canyoning with a perfect track perfect for beginner.The Guilliman is born at Brouffier Lake which feed it throughout the year. It gets down in an abrupt way to the station creating many nice waterfalls. It digs a fold in the Prévourey cirque and houses the famous waterfall via ferrata, easily accessible for family. Then its profile gets smoother on the plateau of the pass, before diving to the Romanche valley on Sechilienne side. It´s very popular among hikers as well as local fishermen. In short, it's a nice, wild, impetuous and alive mountain stream! Near the waterfall in the village, you can see an old mechanical sawmill that was feeded by the torrent and has stopped working since 30's.
