Virtual tour of the passes
Immerse yourself in the world of the high mountains, high-altitude lakes, glaciers and eternal snows.
Description
Take the path that winds down into the valley. Here and there, persistent snow reminds you that you are at altitude and that the nights are cool, but the shrill cry of marmots on the alert in the scree slopes means that summer is well and truly here, with its procession of wild flowers and dazzling light.
As you arrive at Lac Bramant, marvel at this high-altitude lake nestling at the foot of the mountains. The path then skirts Lac Blanc, in which the eternal snows are reflected. As for the third lake, you'll have to guess it because it's disappearing...
If you have the time and inclination to continue discovering this unique environment, continue the adventure to the foot of the Saint-Sorlin glacier (allow just over an hour from the end of the second lake).
From here, you'll have the chance to admire a true lord of the mountains: the largest glacier in the Grandes Rousses massif is right in front of you! On the way back, you'll have had a well-deserved gourmet break at the Etendard refuge.
