テルミニョンの湖・トップ20

Home sweet home... an exceptional playground!

This pretty refuge is located at an altitude of 2,417 metres, in the heart of the Vanoise park. It is easily accessible from the Col de la Platta car park. The refuge has a single large room, so the 14-bed dormitory is in the same place as the dining room. An intimate atmosphere awaits you! It is also possible to pitch a tent around it, but only by reservation.

Beautiful lake with crystal clear reflections

Lac Blanche is the older brother of Lac Noir which is located further down, Lac Blanche is bigger, more beautiful both for its colors and its outline and from here you can see Fort Malamot which dominates a little higher up. It can also be reached by mountain bike due to the presence of the road.

Last year we left Mont Bochor to reach the Barmettes refuge and climb to Lac des Vaches. As the return was on foot to Pralognan we did not go any higher. Last week we took the Genepy chairlift then Lac des Vaches then Lac Long and stopped at the refuge of the Col de la Vanoise. Two or three passages in the snow (~45 min). Nice walk, the climb after the lake seemed easier to me than the first part.

On foot or by MTB it is worth visiting

The real high mountain trail, well marked but where you need a sure foot, breathtaking panoramas 🤩 fairy tale lakes, we have here an exceptional must!

Nice littly mountain hut. Not guarded during winter. Not there is no shower available. you have to wash yourself at the trough
