An essential ski touring route to the Goléon refuge and the eponymous lake, located close to the refuge.
From the hamlet of Les Hières, take the Valfroide path and head straight up the valley towards the Goléon refuge.
It is also possible, from the same starting point, to branch off in the direction of CRUQ before descending to the refuge. Allow 4 hours for this alternative.
Because of the risk of avalanche, we strongly recommend that you wear full safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe).
Ski touring is a risky activity, and all skiers are responsible for their own safety.
It is therefore strongly recommended to hire a mountain guide to supervise outings in unmarked and unsafe areas.
It is also advisable to prepare your outing well in advance: consult the BRA (Bulletin d'Estimation du Risque d'Avalanche), check the inclination of slopes on the Géoportail slope map to avoid itineraries on slopes of over 30°, and check with the guide office to find out whether conditions are favorable.
