Beautiful little lake! Not a soul around at the start of the year. I recommend passing by if you're cycling.

Nice climb, unfortunately the road from Ruffieu has (recently?) been completely covered in gravel that accumulates on the bends. Uphill it's okay, but risky on the descent. It's strange because the road doesn't seem particularly damaged under the gravel...
