A classic hike in the Clarée Valley, set against the magnificent backdrop of one of France’s most beautiful landscapes.This easy walk allows you to admire the reflections of the Cerces and Écrins mountains in the crystal-clear waters of the many Gardioles lakes. The scenery is so breathtaking that you should allow at least an hour or two longer than the scheduled time to complete the circular walk.Much of the route takes you far from the beaten track, sometimes off any path at all.

Departure from Névache (Hautes-Alpes)
This 4-day circular bivouac is for experienced hikers.
It does, of course, follow sections of marked trails (GR®,GRP®), but the nature of the terrain when off-trail requires extreme caution (rock falls) and a solid knowledge of navigation, especially in unpredictable weather. The daily summit climb is obviously dependent on your equipment (crampons?), weather conditions (snowfields?) and your physical fitness.

Departure from Névache (Hautes-Alpes)
The two lakes, Laramon and Serpent, are a classic hiking destination in the Clarée Valley. For us, the journey is often more important than the destination, which is why we made our way there via the Chemin de Ronde, a route that’s well worth the walk in its own right.
