Hike along an area with abundant fauna, like chamois and Ibex

Description

Hike to the biggest lake in the Alps! The Allos Lake is considered the biggest natural alpine lake in Europe. It is about 3 kilometers long (2 miles).

This stunning lake is situated in the Mercantour National Park, in the southern French Alps. It is also about 3 hours drive from the French Riviera.

We can enjoy a very nice easy day hike to reach the lake and go all around it to enjoy the views. It is a great hike for families or for easy going outdoorlovers.

For sporty people, it is possible to get much higher, following an incredible loop trail to enjoy amazing views and the view of three more lakes! This is one of the most scenic hikes in the southern Alps region!

This option involves a 700-meter ascent and a 5-hour hike. If you prefer an easier hiking option, it would be a hike of about 3 hours, with a 200-meter ascent.

The area has a very abundant fauna, with species of chamois and many Ibex (mountain goats), marmots and other animals. It is worth it to spend few days in this area so you may also enjoy a 2-day or 3-day program in this area. An alpine cabin is available right by the lake.

Just send me a request if you would like to join me on this day hike. We will spend a great day in this beautiful national park. Also, many other hikes may be done in the Mercantour National Park, in the Valley of Marvels or in the Vésubie Valley.
