The scenery gradually grows more dramatic until the Rocheure torrent,
as you enter the popular Plan du Lac plateau. To your delight, you're accompanied by whistles of marmots, who seem quite tame. Your first glimpse of the Vanoise glaciers sparks your sense of adventure once again. From their heights of considerably more than 3,000 m, they seem to be keeping a close eye on you.
Transfixed by their presence, you now tackle on the slopes at the snow zone; momentarily, the ascent becomes challenging. It'll offer up an extraorinary landscape.
Getting to the glacial lakes of Lozières feels like plunging into a seemingly endless wilderness. Have a rest and enjoy the view over Pointe de Lanserlia. Who knows, perhaps chamois and ibex will join the fun?
