Chamrousse 1750 - Croix de Chamrousse, via Achard lake
Departure from Roche-Béranger Tourist Office, Chamrousse 1750. A beautiful hike first through the forest, allowing you to enjoy Lac Achard before reaching the top of the resort.
Round trip: 5h (10.6km).
An unforgettable walk with magnificent views of Taillefer, Lac Achard and other small lakes between Col de l'Infernet and Col de la Botte.
Once at the summit, don't forget to take advantage of our Panoramic Park, offering sublime panoramas via our belvederes, rooftop and Himalayan footbridge.
As Lac Achard is located in a Natura 2000 zone, we remind you that burning, camping, fishing and swimming are strictly forbidden (under penalty of fine). Bivouacs are permitted from sunset to sunrise, except during the peak summer season from May 01 to October 31 + Infernet area (municipal by-law).
Please stay on the trails to preserve fragile environments.
☆ The little extra: the "hiking star" summer medal for children!
On presentation of a photo taken at the hiking site, brave little hikers will be awarded a named diploma + possible purchase of the "lac Achard" silver star to hang proudly from the backpack (on sale for €3 at Tourist Offices).
