Val-Cenis - Lanslebourg-Mont-Cenis

Enter the magical world of the Mont Cenis site. Its lake with its sometimes turquoise or emerald colours plunges you into an aquatic universe in the middle of these summits with mineral colours often glittering with white.

Description

This treasure is well guarded by 4-legged sentinels (marmots), but they'll let you enjoy their jewel if you don't disturb them.
Alas, it hasn't always been like this: this site has been the scene of some discord, but fortunately it's only the remnants that you'll discover along the way.
But that won't stop your eyes from shining!

You can extend your pleasure by adding one or two variants:
Variant A towards the Col du Petit Mont-Cenis (outward and return)
Variant B below the dam and around the old hamlet (loop)

From 01/06 to 01/10 daily.
