The Lakes of Chamrousse and the Grand Van
We're going to walk on the ocean!
Or how to tour a ski resort without seeing the slopes, but with a few beautiful lakes and a summit that is much more impressive than the famous Croix de Chamrousse.
The Robert Lakes
An exceptional hike leading to the wonderful Robert Lakes starting from the Chamrousse resort.
Beware of late snowfields
Lacs Robert from Le Recoin
From Le Recoin, there are easy routes to visit the Robert Lakes. This description deviates slightly from the most commonly used trails, particularly from the Brèche Sud to reach Lac des Pourettes.
Le Grand Sorbier
A hike to Robert Lakes in Belledonne, which requires a good sense of direction and experience of walking off-trail. At the start of the season, a slightly steep section requires the use of crampons if there is still snow.
