The glacial origin of Lac des Chambres ensures that its water is clear and crystal-clear. In the spring, depending on snow conditions, patches of ice may remain on its surface. A refreshing dip is guaranteed, but swimming is prohibited.
A hike alternating between forest paths, mountain pastures, scree slopes and a lake, leading to the Lac des Chambres at the foot of the Pointe Rousse. This alpine lake, fed by a glacier, offers a timeless moment in an exceptional setting.
