Description

Head to a legendary place, a true paradise on Earth: the Plateau des Lacs is home to a multitude of bodies of water, including Lac Fourchu, the largest in the area.
A timeless space with unforgettable scenery not to be missed!



All around you, the landscapes are breathtaking, inviting you to completely disconnect from the real world and its worries.

Starting point: Chalets du Poursollet

From the resort, take the D114E “Route du Poursollet” (note: this road is closed to vehicles over 7.5 tons and is shut in winter). Follow the road to its end at the Poursollet parking area.
At the parking lot, after the information board, take the path on the right (GR50). The trail passes by the Poursollet chalets before heading into the mountain. Follow this path to reach Lac Fourchu (a fairly steep climb of about 1h30 to 1h45).
Once on the plateau, take in the view of Lac Fourchu and explore the other nearby lakes (Lac Noir, Lac de la Veche, Lac de l’Agneau, etc.) by heading toward the Pas de l’Envious. For the return, follow the direction to Chalets de la Barrière.

Please note!
You are in a protected natural area. Please stay on marked trails, keep your dog on a leash, avoid picking plants, do not light fires, and take your trash with you or dispose of it in the nearest bin. Respecting and preserving this unique environment is essential!
