This stunning mountain trail offers amazing views of the Albaron, Vallonnet and Evettes glaciers, their reflections mirrored in the surrounding mountain lakes. The shades of blue, from azure to turquoise, are always surprising.

As you make your way along the path through the high-altitude meadows,

you'll come across alpine chalets with unique shapes. These chalets are

designed to withstand avalanches, with some being semi-buried or protected

by a "tourne," which is a stone prow. Amid the glaciers of Albaron, Vallonnet,

and Evettes, you make your way along this breathtaking trail that overlooks

the Sources de l'Arc cirque. You pass a number of lakes and the views never

cease to amaze you. Azures and turquoises unfold before your eyes, in a

stunning parade of shades of blue. A few chamois can be seen in the distance.

You get to the refuge, see how perfectly it blends into the rugged background

of the mountains. Check out the view of the lakes from above. It feels like

you're at the end of the world! This is a dream opportunity to spend a night

under the stars and the crystalline sky of the high-altitude mountains. Make

a wish for every shooting star!

On your way down, take some time to visit the hamlet of l'Écot and Bonneval-sur-Arc. Isn't that Sebastian who running down an alley, followed by his

faithful Belle?
