Hiking at Col d'Ambin

Description

The Ambin stream will be your faithful companion all day long. Calmly follow its right bank to the Refuge d'Ambin. The sensation of entering an unexplored valley grows stronger with every step. The whistling of marmots echoes in your ears. The numerous scree slopes suggest that chamois are watching you as you scramble along the cracks. The sound of water rushing between boulders mingles with the bleating of summer sheep. Take a break in this haven of peace before the slope steepens.
The approach walk gives way to a real alpine hike. What a feeling of fulfillment in the heart of these countless peaks! One steep incline follows another, and the reward is obvious. Perched at an altitude of 2680 m, the emerald-blue lake inspires awe.
Let your adventurous spirit carry you up the last 200 m of ascent. Once you've reached the Col d'Ambin, perhaps you'll be able to extend the pleasure with a night under the stars at the Walter Blais bivouac.
