Departure from Saint-Colomban-des-Villards (Savoie)
An original way to explore Lac des Balmettes and its pass, extending towards the Col du Villonet, offering a front-row view of the imposing Pic du Frêne, then the Brèches de la Passoire, which provide a superb view of the Grésivaudan.
On the agenda: ibex and chamois await you in the magnificent and little-visited Combe Rousse.
The route is partly off-trail but does not present any navigation difficulties.
