Saint-Apollinaire lake

Une belle boucle en belvédère au départ de la station de Réallon. Cet itinéraire de niveau moyen alterne pistes forestières sous les mélèzes et sentiers à flanc de montagne, avec pour point d'orgue les eaux paisibles du lac de Saint-Apollinaire et son face-à-face magistral avec le Pic du Morgon.


From the car park, take the Joubelle trail (in the forest). Follow it for about an hour. If you want to go to the Joubelle cabin, follow the indications on the right "cabane de Joubelle." If you want to go directly to Lac de Saint-Apollinaire, take the steeply descending path on your left to Saint-Apollinaire lake.
The starting point for the Saint-Apollinaire Lake trail is just before the one for the Joubelle cabin. If you have reached the Joubelle cabin, you’ve gone too far. From the lake, follow the GR 50 (red and white markings), which partially follows the paved road, then leaves it via a path on the left (300 meters after the lower car park).
Follow this path (Chemin des Faysses) along the mountainside until you rejoin the paved road below the station at the farm and place called "Forest du Bayle." From there, climb back to the resort on the road (800m).
