ランドリの湖・トップ12

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

This lake is located at an altitude of 2,248 meters, at the foot of Pierra Menta, a remarkable peak in the Beaufortain massif. https://youtu.be/G0Ss9v6wxQQ

Point d'intersection Lac d'Amour Altitude 2248m

A perfect place for a break before or after crossing the Pierra Menta.

Excellent welcome, with meal, coffee and dessert. Magnificent view of the peaks to the south: Pierra Menta, Roc de la Charbonnière, Pointe de Cerdosse, Mont Rosset.

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.

About the Vanoise National Park, I wrote in an old notebook: “From the Col du Palet refuge, I discovered a new Vanoise. The valley, the plan of La Plagne, which I borrow gains in chlorophyll. The rocks are rare, even if I remain surrounded by immense stone colossi from which arise waterfalls and torrents. At sunset, the shadow of the valley cools the lights. The silence is split by the sound of water flowing to the deepest part of the valley. In the distance, the last rays of the sun make the clouds blush. If paradise exists, I believe that my feet caress its secret garden. »

The Presset refuge is nestled in a spectacular setting, on the edge of the lake of the same name and at the foot of the Pierra Menta. A great place to take a break or spend the night!
