Le Balcon de Dolomieu is located at an altitude of 2,632 metres. This point dominates the crater of Dolomieu which was formed in 1791 before collapsing several hundred meters in 2007.
This exceptional point of view on the crater is accessible by following the white marking points from the Pas de Bellecombe.

A highlight with two great views, first on the volcanic crater and then down to the glittering sea water.

Allow 2h30 from the car park to the viewpoint on the Dolomieu crater. Course marked with white dots. Leave very early to avoid the crowds. Good footwear required: uneven and abrasive terrain.
