beautiful and peaceful lake, great to have a lunch break with a view

Beautiful lake, superb mountains, heavenly place.

Superb Himalayan footbridge over an azure blue lake with views of the mountains, splendid!

As its name suggests, the Col des Lacs is surrounded by delightful small bodies of water, at an altitude of 2,234 meters. It is located at the foot of the Pointe de la Grande Journe.

At 2,119 meters above sea level, the Col de la Louse divides the Beaufortain massif and the Tarentaise valley. It is an essential passage to access the Grand Mont and the Tempête lakes.

The Lacs de la Tempête are a series of lakes located below the Grand Mont, in a magnificent and isolated alpine landscape. The running crossings are simply wonderful.

At 1,889 meters above sea level, the Col de la Bâthie is located in the heart of the mountain pastures. It separates the Pointe de la Grande Journe and the Légette du Grand Mont. If you embark on the Beaufortain tour off-site, you will have the pleasure of passing through it.

It is a tricky short walk that takes longer than stated. We needed to scramble on parts of the ascent along a mountain ridge on the very thin trail, and the path was not always obvious on some of the ridge sections. The descent is also very steep towards the end, though thankfully this very steep section is fairly short. The lake was more of a quagmire when we walked it in early September. Not your usual crystal clear mountain lake and not particularly photogenic! Enjoyable, but for the length of the walk I would say it’s a harder intermediate.
