Before heading left towards the peak of Morgon, you can take a very short detour towards this rocky platform which offers a superb panorama of Lake Serre-Ponçon. The turquoise blue contrasts wonderfully with the green environment surrounding the lake.

A difficult hike, sure-footedness, endurance and a head for heights are necessary. After the ridge the path down is difficult to find. Super nice hike, little "climbing", amazing view of the lake. Drafty at the top, a bit cold (at a sunny 25°C)
