Le lac du Pontet
Discover the joys of winter hiking through one of the two marked trails for ski touring and snowshoeing, starting from Villar d'Arène. This will take you to the frozen Pontet lake.
The route offers you very beautiful views of the Ecrins massif, from Agneaux to the Meije, as well as on the upper Romanche valley, from the cliffs of the Emparis plateau to the Lautaret pass.
The route is freely accessible.
You are moving in an uncertain natural environment: the route is marked but not secured. You will therefore be in total autonomy under your own responsibility. Make sure you leave equipped with a DVA and with knowledge of the weather, snow conditions and avalanche risk.
The route is open or closed depending on snow conditions on the advice of a committee of local experts. For your safety, respect this notice.
