Les Sept Laux – Rando
This route will allow you to discover a succession of very famous lakes (Laux) in Isère.
Shortly after the Rivier d'Allemond, park on the old road of the col de la Croix de Fer, which goes off to the left and ends in a dead end, in front of the enormous landslide which forced its reconstruction on the opposite slope.
TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS :
Departure: The Rivier d'Allemond
Elevation: 904 m
Distance: 5,4 km
Level: difficult
ITINERARY :
After the River, continue the road for approximately 2 km until the intersection of the old road (blocked) and the new one which winds down to the bottom of the valley. The trailhead is at this intersection. We cross on the side for about 1 km, then the path climbs in tight bends into the valley of 7 Laux.
High up on the plateau, we first discover Lake Sagne. The succession of lakes allows you to go from Oisans to Grésivaudan.
TO KNOW :
Ibex spot! This place is rich in chamois and ibex, a species reintroduced in 1983 by hunters and EDF during the construction of the Grand' Maison dam. The 7 Laux, as their name does not indicate, are 10: Lac de la Sagne, Lac de la Corne, Lac Jeplan, Lac Agnelin, Lac du Cos, Lac Blanc, Lac Cottepens, Lac Carré, Lac de la Motte and Lac Noir.
Along the lakes you cross the Belledonne massif.
