You are entering the Néouvielle National Nature Reserve, which is protected by regulations. Please respect these (see practical information).
Country:
District:
Park at the Lac d’Aubert car park.
(S) Before heading towards the Col de Madamète, take a moment to explore the shores of Lac d'Aubert (orientation table, dam, etc.).
Return to the car park entrance to find a path heading north towards the Col de Madamète and continue for about 400m.
(1) Turn right towards Lac d'Aumar.
Once you reach the lake’s shore, follow the path running alongside it towards the south-east.
(2) Cross a small ford, continue keeping the lake on your left until you rejoin the road leading to the car park.
Shortly before this, you will see a building on your right; you can make a detour there to find some raspberries if you are hiking in September.
Continue along the path between the road and the lake until you reach the far end of the lake.
(3) Once there, join the path climbing towards the Col d’Aumar and cross it. Lac de l’Île, the destination of this walk, lies slightly to the right behind a hill.
Head back down towards the north for about 600m.
(4) Shortly after a “pool” of stones (see photos), take a path branching off to the right.
The paths leading to the lake are not very well marked and may change from year to year depending on foot traffic.
(5) After 500m, having crossed a ford, you will arrive at a tiny hillock at the southern end of the lake, offering a fine view.
Cross the ford again and walk up along the western shore of the lake for 200m.
(6) Then take a path back towards the Col d'Aumar.
Pass between the hill and the lake to return to the main path.
As on the way there, the path is faint. It is therefore easy to lose your way; the key is to stay on course
(7) Once back on the main path, follow it in the opposite direction to the ford you crossed on the way to Lac d'Aumar.
(2) Just before the ford, turn off towards the car park (S/E).
