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.

Departure from Saint-Martin-d'Uriage (Isère)
A hike to the Robert Lakes, a little wilder than those starting from Chamrousse Ski Resort.
Between (7) and (8), the descent via the ski runs is a bit challenging; it can be replaced by a long circular loop that passes by Lac des Vallons.

An easy hike to start your Belledone traverse gently. No fewer than four lakes dot the route, most of which are suitable for swimming and/or a nap. This description treats the hike as a one-way trip, but a day trip (there and back) is also possible.A more challenging alternative is available; see here

Departure from Chamrousse (Isère)
An original route, starting from Roche Béranger towards the Refuge de la Pra, to explore numerous natural lakes. A varied route combining wide tracks, rugged paths, scree crossings, steep rocky gullies where you’ll often need to use your hands, and pleasant, shaded paths amongst Swiss stone pines. With a feel reminiscent of Scandinavia and the Canadian Rockies, the landscape is spectacular, offering a 360° panorama. (Please read the ‘Practical Information’ section carefully.)
