Pourettes lake
The Pourettes lake is a mountain lake of natural origin at 1810 m of altitude which is located on the heights of the resort side Recoin (Chamrousse 1650).
This small high-altitude lake has a long shape following the terrain near the hiking trail to Robert Lakes.
It benefits from a preserved environment and offers a pleasant panorama in an intimate setting.
The lake gets its name from the wild chives that grow on its shores. This natural site is also known for alpine newts (lizard-like amphibians) who like to take refuge there and who need to be approached quietly to hope to see them.
A first stop on a hike to the Robert Peaks and Lakes. The lake is also on the passage of the hiking trail coming from the parking lot of Casserousse (on the D111 side Seiglières).
