This circular, which starts at the Col de la Croix de Fer and passes by the Refuge de l'Étendard, gives you a taste of the high mountain atmosphere. Snow cover persists for quite a long time after winter. This hike is best done in late August or September.
This hike can be easy in summer or difficult when there is snow (winter or spring). I did it when there was a lot of snow, which is why I consider it to be quite difficult.

From the Col de la Croix de Fer, often used by the Tour de France, enjoy a peaceful short hike on a little-used slope. Beautiful views of the surrounding area, particularly the Aiguilles d'Arves.

Departure from Allemond (Isère)
This hike will take you to four of the ten lakes known as the "Lacs des Sept Laux": Lac de la Sagne, Lac de la Corne, Lac Jeplan and Lac du Cos, the latter being located slightly below the Col des Sept Laux.
At times, the slope is quite steep and the route somewhat rugged, but your efforts will be richly rewarded when you discover these beautiful mountain lakes and the various surrounding mountain ranges.

Departure from La Ferrière (Isère) (Isère)
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.
