Trail Area – Route No. 2 – The Little Lakes

Starting from the Col de la Croix de Fer, this circular walk takes in the small high-altitude lakes at 2,000 metres. These lakes are very popular picnic spots. The view is often spectacular when the Aiguilles d’Arves and the mountain flowers are reflected in the mirror-like water. The route descends to the first lakes, Potron and Guichard. You then head back up to Lac Laitelet, cutting across the road. In summer, you’re likely to spot marmots and cows there. The climb back up to the pass follows a single track with a gentle gradient. Once you’ve reached the top, take a moment to study the landscape at the orientation table located at the pass.
