Departure from Villar-d'Arêne (Hautes-Alpes)
For me, this is one of the most beautiful hikes in this magnificent region of the Alps, with breathtaking views of the eastern glaciers of the Meije massif.
It is a long walk through the mountain pastures, but with very gradual climbs.
However, there is one section that may be tricky for those prone to vertigo.
A great alternative to the hike to Lac d'Arsine, which starts from Monêtier-les-Bains.
