Magnificent lake! Accessible to all! As a bonus, you'll find ibexes and a few marmots if you're lucky. For the more courageous, you can climb to an altitude of 2,900 m by continuing on the path with a magnificent view if the sky is clear!

The Robert Lakes are very beautiful, and the mountain range surrounding them creates a magnificent setting. The spot seems popular with campers (arrive early for the best spot). The GR trail between Chamrousse Le Recoin and the Robert Lakes, which passes by Lac des Prouettes, is quite difficult (steep) on the Robert Lakes side. The trail higher up the mountain is easier (beware of the scree slopes for those with short legs).

A magnificent spot, and for those who don't want to hike up, it's accessible with almost no elevation gain from the top of the Croix de Chamrousse cable cars. For a complete immersion, watch the video: https://youtu.be/sU4Xn-MHkGA

Breathtaking view from the Himalayan footbridge of Chamrousse. The four lakes sparkle at the bottom of the cirque, at the foot of the Petit Van, the Grand Van and the Grand Sorbier.

A rather pleasant place frequented by fishermen and children who come here on bicycles. In spring, you can hear frog concerts there.
