    The path is interrupted by a vague track that you must follow in the direction of the lake for around a hundred metres. The path starts again on the left and soon gives way to a wooden footbridge over the water.

    Follow the path on stilts along the information panels about the area you have crossed until you reach an observation tower overlooking Lac de Serre-Ponçon. From there, return by the same route.
