05260 Champoléon
A long hike, with bends and crossings, which goes up following the waterfalls to the string of lakes in their mineral setting.
"Happy is  the hiker at the beginning of the season who will have the privilege of discovering the lakes still covered in snow with just a turquoise ring of thawing ice.. All that there is left to do is find a slab of well-polished and well exposed gneiss to sit on in order to search the landscape for Ibex.”
Marc Corail, Mountain ranger in Champsaur
