High-altitude lakes, glaciers and icebergs

Landscapes from the end of the world in the heart of the Alps

Contemplate the high-altitude lakes along the balcony path to the Carro refuge, admire the glaciers overlooking the paths, enjoy the incredible panorama at the Cirque des Evettes and continue to the Grand Méan glacier. You will be breathless, not from the climb but from the spectacle of this glacier which ends in a cliff that plunges into a lake where icebergs float... A hike worthy of the great expeditions at the end of the world. Ibex are also often present in summer in this area. Guaranteed unforgettable memories!
