Description

This stunning hike starts from the summit of the Pointe de la Masse, accessible via the gondola lift of the same name. The route leads to three high-altitude lakes set in a wild, rugged, and unspoiled landscape, offering views of the Vanoise and Mont Blanc.
The trail gradually descends toward the three iconic high-altitude lakes of the area: Lac Longet (2,532 m), nestled in a natural cirque, Lac Noir (2,471 m), deep and mysterious, Lac Crintallia (2,420 m), more discreet but equally wild. Throughout the hike, walkers are immersed in a high-mountain atmosphere, surrounded by rocks, snow patches, and breathtaking panoramas.
