  • From typical hamlets to the little jewel of Lac de Roue.

  • You'll arrive at a magical little lake in the middle of a mélézin, dominated by the Grand Rochebrune massif. A unique, protected peat bog. If you fancy grilling some marshmallows or sausages, there are facilities around the lake for picnics and barbecues.

    Surrounded by a larch forest, this pretty lake is a haven of peace, overgrown with aquatic plants and dragonflies. Two nearby lookouts offer superb panoramic views over the Queyras combe.

    In spring and autumn, conditions can change, and even snow-free trails can be icy. As a result, the reflex in the mountains is to "go out well equipped". In my bag, I slip or I hang: crampons and poles.

    In winter, the right reflexes are: snowshoes, poles, gloves, hat, sun cream and... a survival blanket! Experience is essential, and knowing when to give up is sometimes preferable to taking risks. And if you're new to the mountains, don't hesitate to call in a professional! Before going out, I check the Météo France Montagnes and BERA bulletins (risks and avalanches).
