Perrin Lakes walking loop

This entry into the Savine valley is simply mouth-watering. The stream, born

in the Savine glaciers, turns into a remarkable torrent as it thunders down

the valley, to offer up its watery jewels, a handful of glittering diamonds

for you to admire.

What a dramatic view of Dents d'Ambin and Etache Rock!

And what about these fascinating little delicate white pompoms that line

the Perrin lakes, planted there as if by magic? Characteristic of mountain

wetlands, cotton grass, or "linaigrette des Alpes" will make you open your

eyes in wonder as its delicate heads nod in the wind. These silky, light grasses

deserved to be photographed, but not picked. How sweet is nature, amid

the jagged rocky outcrops!
