Hiking
This pretty loop offers a variation on the traditional hike that leads to the Aubert and Aumar lakes. Its first portion, less frequented, offers a slightly steeper climb than that of the classic route. The start is at the Lake Orédon car park.
From the start, the trail climbs into a dense and lush forest. Paved with stones and roots, it quickly gains height above the lake. When the ground finally clears, you approach the Estoudou pass.
This crossing point leads to Lake Oule, it also offers a bird's eye view of the road which serves Lake Orédon. However, you take a different direction by following the sign indicating Lake Aumar. This new section begins with a slight descent on a path that runs along the side of the mountain. Then you gradually go up until you reach the lake which you follow for a beautiful part.
You then head towards its neighbor, Lac d’Aubert. It is at the dam that you approach the final part of the route which consists of returning to the starting point. Along the way, you pass along the magical banks of Les Laquettes, before concluding with a more technical portion in the forest.

With the mountains that throw themselves steeply into its waters, Lake Orédon looks like a fjord that makes it very different from all the other bodies of water in the reserve. To have !

Imperative, come early for the colors (7:30 a.m. - 8 a.m. in September)

First of all, from the car park (paying €7 for a 6-hour day) you can contemplate Lake Orédon. Then you start to climb via the stepped path to reach the Laquettes. Great place to enjoy nature. Finally, you continue to climb to Lac d'Aubert …
