An easy walk starting from the hamlet of Collet d’Ancelle, taking you to the Saint-Philippe promontory (a former fortified site) via Lac de Faudon, a veritable treasure trove of Alpine biodiversity, and close to the ruins of the village of Faudon. This summit, situated above the resort of Ancelle, offers a beautiful panoramic view of the Gap basin, the Champsaur and the Écrins massif.

Departure from Orcières (Hautes-Alpes)
This hike has been suitable for all ages since 2020. Using the chairlifts (Drouvet 1 and 2 for the outward journey and Roche Rousse for the return journey) makes it easy. The six large lakes are visited on the way down. A variant towards the Col de Freissinières is possible. The landscapes are magnificent, especially at the starting point at the top of Drouvet. The lakes are all very beautiful and diverse.
