Lac Blanc from Refuge de Péclet-Polset

As I climb up the Chavière valley, I am quickly immersed in a meadow-pasture landscape where I appreciate the beauty of the flora and enjoy observing families of marmots, lying silently in the grass. At the Refuge de Péclet-Polset, I find myself in a traditional alpine setting where the rock reigns supreme, the result of a ""carambolesque"" arrangement. The end of the walk is marked by the blue-green setting of Lac Blanc, an atmosphere of contemplation and meditation. The view from the lake takes my breath away with the Col du Soufre facing me, the points of the Observatory and the Râteau (rake) on the other side. If you are lucky, like me on this day, the ibex may make an appearance. Don’t be surprised to see some of them with colourful tags on their ears and collars around their necks, they are being studied and monitored!”
