Lac de la Blanche walks

Starting from the Chapelle des Clausis, we will circle a remarkable peak, passing through three mountain passes and making a short detour into Italy. Numerous lakes and the beautiful Refuge de la Blanche.

Here is a simple 4-day route that alternates between Queyras and Ubaye, starting from the hamlet of Cros before Saint-Véran. The Queyras valley will be the first stop for a night by Lac de la Blanche at the refuge of the same name. The route through Ubaye will take you over the Col de la Noire before descending to the hamlet of Maljasset. You will return to Queyras on day 3 via the Col Girardin before returning to the starting point via the Col des Estronques on the fourth day.

Discover two superb lakes nestled in the valley formed by the rocks of La Blanche and the ridges of Montagne de Rocca Bianca, which mark the French-Italian border.

Here, the names change from white to black with great dexterity. Indeed, the passage from Queyras, Refuge de la Blanche, to Ubaye is via the Col de la Noire. Original, isn't it?
