YOU ARE HIKING IN THE HEART OF THE ÉCRINS NATIONAL PARK
The Écrins massif is an exceptional space, open to all, whose natural, cultural and
landscaped areas are rare. To protect these riches, the heart of the park is marked by blue-white-red painted flags, where regulations must be respected. Please read them when preparing your
hike in order to preserve this collective good on the website ecrins-parcnational.fr.
ITINERARY
After the refuge, cross the Muande stream and turn left towards Lac des Fétoules. A steep, switchback climb awaits you across grassy slopes and scree.
At 2 m, you arrive at the small mountain lake of Fétoules on a small grassy plateau, with a clear and magical view of the Vénéon valley and the glaciers of the Écrins massif.
You can go back down the same path to reach the refuge or continue towards Champhorent to return to the parking lot.
A beautiful hike to do with a night at the Lavey refuge for families who want to experience a real immersion in the heart of the Oisans mountains and in the Écrins National Park.
In summer you will come across herds in the mountain pastures, avoid them if possible.
