Difficult
Departure from Besse (Isère) (Isère)

Moderate
Departure from Oz (Isère)
A downhill hike through a rocky landscape where you hop from lake to lake – yes, it’s possible.
Of course, you’ll need to take the cable cars of the Alpe d’Huez–Vaujany ski area to reach the summit of the Dôme des Petites Rousses, the starting point of this hike.
Please note: the time estimated by the software is an underestimate.

A classic, well-known hike in the area to explore the Lacs des 7 Laux. Here, only the descent is described and used to complete this traverse, as it is not possible to continue easily on to the Refuge de l’Oule.

Very difficult
Departure from Pinsot (Isère)
This long route will take you up and down two mountain passes (Morétan and Vay), through the Morétan Lakes valley, and across the wild, unmarked foothills leading to the Col du Vay. You’ll then begin a long, dizzying descent along a balcony path between the Chalet du Vay and l’Aup Bernard, finally arriving – after one last rather steep climb – at a very pretty spot in the middle of which stands the Chalet du Bout, the perfect place to spend the night.
Please note: this hike involves crossing two snowfields as well as a steep, exposed descent.
