Carroley circuit trail

Start from the top car park in Belle Plagne and take the dirt road to the alpine chalets. At the chalets, take the path on the right going towards Col de l’Arpette.

At the top of the chairlift, go over the Col de l'Arpette and down the Col du Carroley on the dirt road, then take the path down to the right to the Lac du Carroley (2186m). Fishing in the lake is permitted (fishing permit obligatory). To come back, go back up the same path to the pass. Go right, staying on the side of the Arpette, then follow the path through the pastures back down to Belle Plagne.

Possible variant: on the way back, you can climb to the top of Mont Saint Jacques at 2407 metres (chapel and orientation table at the top). Add an extra hour for this variant.
