Description

Moderate-grade high-altitude hike. Take 1500 meters of altitude in a few minutes thanks to the cable cars and go off to discover the glacial lakes. A peaceful and silent nature where time seems frozen.

An immersive high-altitude hike: leave the Dôme des Petites Rousses (2,800 m) and descend to the source of the Fare stream, whose waters feed Lac de la Fare (2,641 m), before cascading down the slopes to form the Fare waterfall, overlooking Vaujany. You can extend this panoramic hike towards Plan de Cavalles. Return via the same route.
