Departure from Villar-d'Arêne (Hautes-Alpes)
This hike is accessible to all without any particular difficulty and allows you to walk with the magnificent panorama of the Meije glaciers as a backdrop.
What's more, the remarkable exposure of the circuit and its relatively modest altitude mean that this loop can be completed as soon as the snow melts.

Departure from Villar-d'Arêne (Hautes-Alpes)
This route is more of a "stroll" than a "hike": first a beautiful little mountain lake that is easy to access, then a small peak with a magnificent view of the Meije massif to the south and the Goléon to the north.
This is the shortest and easiest route to discover these two tourist attractions.
