Chamrousse
Johannes Braun
Description
Departure point: Chamrousse 1650 - Recoin tourist office.
Passing Lac des Pourettes, then Lacs Robert via the north spur, and finally a myriad of delightful lakes.
Arrival: Refuge de la Pra at 2105m.
In just a few minutes, you'll be overlooking the resort, with breathtaking views of the Vercors and Chartreuse massifs. Meet the shepherd and his flock of sheep on the Recoin mountain pasture before entering the Chamrousse cembraie. Between forests, clearings, wetlands and blueberry fields, you won't want to miss this magnificent walk. The small Lac des Pourettes and the Roberts lakes are ideal for a break.
Pets allowed: in summer, dogs are allowed on all trails on a leash. The shepherd who works in Chamrousse in summer doesn't have patous, but in the direction of the Pra refuge, watch out for herds with patous dogs.
