Lake Muzelle

Highlight • Lake

Magnificent lake, accessible from Venosc, Valsenestre and Lauvitel. You can choose to bivouac on the south shore or sleep at the lake refuge in the north. As for the water temperature, it's cool... The setting is splendid and the Muzelle Glacier is visible and turns pink in the evening. After your night, head back towards the Col du Vallon or Col de la Muzelle which offer the most beautiful views!

Pierre Percée (Écrins National Park)

Highlight • Natural Monument

What better way to remember that than to hike up to that rock and frame the most beautiful picture of the lake there.
