Combeynot Lake

Sport, Pedestrian sports, Hiking itinerary in Le Monêtier-les-Bains
11.4 km

  • A blue veil has been lost in this mineral world.You will not find an  oasis in this desert of stones but a deep lake of freezing water.

  • The unique marked trail starts from the carpark at the edge of  Guisane. It goes up on the right bank, with a regular ascent to Pré Chausson then through  Fontenil valley.  After a slightly more difficult section, the lake is hiding under an overhang in the bottom of the valley. Return using the same itinerary in the opposite direction.
