Beautiful plateau that is reached after a long climb with a beautiful view

The Chambran plateau, known as Chambran, has the label of natural park and thus constitutes an area of ecological, fauna and flora interest. This status means it is strongly protected. The landscapes there are fantastic. If it is the starting point for many hikes to the peaks, it is also enough to be a superb hiking destination.

Lake Eychauda is a natural lake of glacial origin. It is one of the largest lakes in the Écrins massif. It is also located in the heart of the Écrins National Park and thus constitutes a refuge of choice for biodiversity. Its milky appearance, fed by meltwater from the Séguret Foran glacier, makes it easily identifiable.

In Occitan, the pousterle is a small gate (a postern). It comes from the Latin posterula, which means the back door. This toponym sometimes refers to a pass, which is a gate between two valleys. Glaciers carved out this gate where an arm passed between the glacier that occupied the Fournel valley and the one that flowed into the Vallouise valley.

Col de la Pousterle, our home climb and place to have bbq's. Views over the Ecrins.

Beatiful lake, in June the lake was still frozen

The pass offers a small wooded plateau from which many hikes and cross-country skiing or hiking trails start. A car park not far away as well as a refuge allow easy access. A rock bar has been converted into a climbing spot for the summer.

Small wild summit which offers a superb view of the Fournel valley and the Tête de Dormillouse massif. The access from the Col de la Pousterle is rather accessible at the start, then becomes more difficult towards the arrival at the summit, with an ascent on a small, somewhat steep and windy ridge.
