A route starting from the Thermes de la Léchère-les-Bains on a pretty path along the Isère river and up the banks of the Torrent du Morel with its waterfalls, once the scourge of the Aigueblanches valleys, now tamed by humans who have turned it into a peaceful mountain stream.

A short circuit allowing you to discover the Morel Waterfall and the educational trail on the history of the torrent.
The circuit follows the thematic trail in reverse, but the information panels explain the history of this torrent: the Morel devastated the Bellecombe plain for several centuries and was finally tamed at the beginning of the 20th century thanks to a dam, a large 80-metre waterfall and a series of small cascades.

Moderate
Departure from La Léchère (Savoie)
Most hikers who visit the Lacs de la Tempête access them from the shores of the Saint-Guérin dam lake. Starting from the Grande Maison car park, the route is much less frequented, so it retains a wilder character.
1 Dec. 2024 User comment:CAUTION! A landslide prevents access to the car park!
9 km before the car park, a landslide has cut off the road.
It is no longer possible to follow this route at present!
