샹폴레옹‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪12‬개의 호수

Just above the hut, there are several beautiful campsites hidden behind some rocks, offering panoramic views of the Sirac. You can camp here and eat at the hut.

Easy access with the cable cars, but beware of the sudden change in altitude. Magnificent views follow, along well-marked but sometimes steep trails (not a particularly family-friendly hike, especially for older people). Well worth planning a day trip.

Long Lake is an example of everything that the Grand Lac des Estaris nature reserve protects. The wildlife thrives there, so remember to look up to the sky and maybe you'll see the golden eagle. Likewise, the waters of the lake are home to arctic char while the ibex comes and goes in the surrounding area. To your binoculars!

We did the tour in mid-May 2023 and unfortunately we couldn't get through to the lakes due to the snow. You could have guessed, now we're smarter :) I'll be back some other time, the tour looks fantastic!

Lac des Sirènes is located in the town of Orcières in Champsaur, at an altitude of 2,396 meters. The paths to get there are in good condition and the view magnificent.

The lake is located at the foot of the north-west face of Sirac (one of the most famous peaks of the Écrins). Here, you will find an ideal site to land and enjoy the landscape but also a crossroads of many hiking and climbing routes.

The Pétarel lakes are located at 2,090 meters perched on a plateau. The lakes are absolutely stunning in color with the Valgaudemar valley and its peaks in the background.
