Description

Magnificent route to observe the marmots and finish with a grandiose view of the Aiguille du Charvet. This itinerary is aimed at experienced hikers. Map available in digital and paper version at the Tourist Office of the resort.
After following trail no. 2 (to the Refuge du Ruitor), cross the stream on a small footbridge 300 meters. Then, continue on the left bank of the stream, up to a chaos of huge rocks. Then, cross the stream again on a natural bridge and follow a flat track on your left, sometimes it is not very visible. Cross several small streams. Finally, a small corridor leads to the Longet lake. Leave it on the left and take a corridor for 20 minutes which leads to the Lac Verdet. Take the same trails for the return.
