ITINERARY:
The hike starts at Plan du Lac, cross the bridge and then the parking lot at the whitewater base, and take the path on your left. As you climb steadily and steadily above the Vénéon, you'll come across vast expanses of pastureland that will awaken in you a sense of freedom and space.
When you reach the hamlet of Le Puy, take time to refresh yourself at the wash-house, and don't miss the pretty oratory. You can then continue your ascent towards the Miroir des Fétoules, which takes its name from the fact that the Tête des Fétoules can be seen reflected on its surface. On the banks of this small lake, which varies in size depending on the season, you can enjoy a well-deserved picnic and siesta with a beautiful view of Lauranoure and its Alpe du Pin refuge.
