    Rocky path, but easy to walk. Sturdy shoes and surefootedness necessary.

      Curious formation in the rock

        From the Pont d'Espagne, there are three options for reaching Lake Gaube.
        Either a wide path that's rather uninteresting except for the fact that it's free of large rocks, so it's passable, I'd say. If it were allowed, a sedan could use it.
        Or the cable car, or finally this GR (Grade 1) with its rocky terrain.
        This GR (Grade 1) is sometimes steep, and the natural steps made up of rocks are sometimes high. You need a certain level of fitness and stable footing to climb or descend it easily and safely. If this is your case, this is the most beautiful route to reach Lake Gaube, and it will be a splendid reward.
