    Hiking

    It's a splendid hike! It requires a good physical condition but it is worth the detour.

    Lake Esola, also known as Lac Étoilé, sits high above the town of Bourg-Saint-Maurice, and is one of 5 lakes located high on this slope. The lake is located below a group of rocky mountains, the largest of which is Pointe de la Combe Neuve. A series of multi-use alpine trails connects this lake to the valley, providing a wide range of hiking opportunities.

    Hiking

    The five lakes are situated in a stunningly beautiful setting. The best time for the hike is early morning in the height of summer.
