Randonnée été : en cavale pour la journée !
A very beautiful technical route will take you between glacial lakes and snow-capped peaks. An incursion into the world of high mountains and their role during the Second World War.
The Col du Couard: silver veins were mined, this place was called the mines of the demoiselle and the cochette.
The lakes you will see occupy a hollow resulting from erosion by a glacier. After the glacier melts, water from the glacial torrent often brought from higher up fills the hole and creates the lake.
These large spaces are populated by snow partridges or ptarmigan. One of the only animals to have kept the particularity of the arctic gene: white in winter and beige in summer. A camouflage outfit reserved for the ermine and the mountain hare in the Alps.
Climbing into the cow pastures. The transhumance of animals from the south of France to our mountain pastures continues. Be careful not to disturb the animals when crossing their pasture.
