Tips from the Community
On the climb to Cap d'Long, a detour to this lake is highly recommended. The climb and the scenery above are even more beautiful than the first.

Magnificent lake with a path allowing you to admire it from all angles.

Difficult pass at first, especially in the heat. Easier after the first third. Be careful of the unlit tunnel 1 km from the summit. For added peace and quiet, the road leading up to the pass is closed to traffic from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The succession of lakes in the opposite direction to what the majority of hikers do is a real eye-opener 🤩 Be careful, departure at 9am from the paid parking lot 🅿️ and we were far from being the first!

Superb hike but it doesn't make you dizzy because the climb to get to the other side of the mountain is quite physical and once you arrive at the top, the view is splendid but dizzying 😀

In the forest which separates Lake Orédon from Cap-de-Long, when the trees separate, the view overlooking Lake Orédon is magnificent.
