An ideal place to rest and have a picnic after having achieved the Col de la Bonette trophy. The views are beautiful and you can enjoy the company of the marmots (as long as you don't make too much noise). During the climb, this lake coincides with a very small stretch where the slope gives us some respite.

Beautiful plateau where you can stop for a picnic

In the town of Saint-Etienne de Tinée, in the heart of the Mercantour National Park, the Vens Lakes refuge offers a mountain setting typical of the Maritime Alps. The Vens refuge is located in one of the most prestigious places in the Mercantour Park. It is located in an environment of natural lakes, waterfalls in an old glacial cirque, rich alpine meadows and varied fauna (mountain sheep, chamois, eagles, etc.).

The Lac des Eissaupres is a small mountain lake located at 2,335 meters above sea level in the municipality of Jausiers, along the road that leads to the Col de la Bonette. From here you can enjoy a beautiful view of the mountain's glacial cirque. If you are going downhill don't get too distracted and pay attention to the hairpin bends, if you are going uphill take the opportunity to rest for a moment and admire the landscape.
