Lac Blanc hiking trail

Evading the crowds that eagerly follow the main trail, you'll be one of the

privileged few who'll meet Saint-Antoine three times during your short ascent

from the Coëtet parking lot. Look for the saint nestled in an oratory or a

crevice in the rock face. You'll recognise him by his T-shaped cross and bell.

You'll come across some beautiful chalets along the way, as well as the chapel

of Sainte Marguerite, protector of alpine pastures and pregnant women.

The cheerful melodies of birdsong and the shrill whistling of marmots make

a delightful soundtrack to your hike, to the beat of gravel steadily crunching

underfoot.

Raise your head and feast your eyes on magnificent views of Dent Parraché

and the glaciers of the Vanoise. As you rest on the riverbank, take a moment

to admire the peaks reflected in the crystal-clear waters of this glacial lake.
