Lacs et col d'Arsine à partir d'Arsine
This long but technically easy hike takes you through a landscape that is both bucolic and majestic to enter the heart of the Ecrins National Park and admire the moraines and glaciers up close.
Cross the Arsine bridge and follow a track to the right that runs alongside the Romanche river (it is possible to follow this stony track to the Gravière car park). At the end of the track, join the GR54 path and continue straight on it. You will cross the Voutes steep path in many bends.
At the junction, continue to the left on the GR54. Leave the path on your right that leads to the Alpe de Villar refuges and continue straight towards the Col d'Arsine on the GR54. At the Col d'Arsine, take a small path to the right that winds between the large rocks and then climbs the imposing moraine of the Arsine glacier. The Arsine lakes are hidden behind. Return by the same route.
YOU HIKE IN THE HEART OF THE ECRINS NATIONAL PARK. The Écrins massif is an exceptional space, open to all, whose natural, cultural and landscape heritage is rare. To protect these riches, the heart of the park is marked by flags painted blue-white-red, where regulations must be respected. Please read it while preparing your hike in order to preserve this collective good on the ecrins-parcnational.fr website.
