An unforgettable hike with magnificent views of the Taillefer and its small lakes, before contemplating Achard lake from above. You can count on the marmots to accompany you for part of your hike, with their endless cries echoing through the mountain. From the Botte pass, you can also discover the via ferrata "Trois Fontaines".
As Achard lake is a Natura 2000 area, we remind you that burning, camping, fishing and swimming are strictly forbidden (subject to fines). Bivouacs are permitted from sunset to sunrise, except during the peak summer season from May, 1st to October, 30th + Infernet area (prefectural decree). Please stay on the trails to preserve fragile environments.
