You've seen some of it on foot, by bike, motorbike or car. If you're a keen walker, here's your chance to discover Lake Roselend, its dam and the alpine chalets that line its shores from different angles on an easy walk along a route that follows the lake's banks, with an elevation gain of around 400 metres. You will cross numerous streams via wooden footbridges before finally crossing the dam.

The Rocher du Vent is an impressive rock formation offering a bird's eye view of Lake Roselend, near the Cormet de Roselend. The route described here is unusual as it goes through a tunnel and then along a balcony path, so it is only suitable for walkers who are not afraid of heights or claustrophobia! Others can still discover the site by cutting across to the Lauze chalet.
