    Hiking

    Lac des Gloriettes is considered a dam or artificial lake. That is to say, it is not of glacial origin. But its particularity is that the dam was built to raise the level of a glacial lake.

    You can easily go around it on a day hike. The HRP trail also passes along its banks.

    It has less water now - 2025, but still a cool place to see.
