Description

Accessible for people with physical handicaps ("Joëlette" off-road wheelchairs), the interpretation trail provides an opportunity to explore this exceptional and fragile site. Lac d'Allos is an essential site, one of the most emblematic ones in Mercantour
From Laus carpark, you will begin the hike via three sets of steps cut into the sandstone. For Joëlette off-road wheelchairs, take the tarmacked road which leads to the forest hut. After the forest house, follow the track (GR white and red markers) which heads into the larch forest. Let the GR head off to the left and bear right on the interpretation trail (GR yellow and red markers). Admire the landscape which spreads out below the lake spring, which is the source of the Chadoulin river. Now leave the GR to head off to the right and go towards the lake until you reach La Chapelle Notre Dame des Monts. Once you get to the refuge, begin the circuit of the lake on your left.Enjoy the magnificent scenery, observing the marmots and chamois on the surrounding green slopes. From the refuge, use the same itinerary to get back to the departure point. Difficulté = Easy
