A lovely, short but tough hike on the way up to the Cirque de Troumouse. A lovely little detour to a stunningly blue lake – if you’re doing the climb anyway, it’s definitely worth it. Just past the dam, there’s an inn where you can stop for refreshments.
Mooie kort maar zwaar uitstapje tijdens de klim naar Cirque de Troumouse. Leuk super blauw meertje omweg als je toch de klim maakt zeker de moeite waard. Een stukje voorbij de stuwdam zit een herberg waar je bij kunt tanken
A shame not to do it during or after the climb to the Cirque de Troumouse. Once at the top, you are treated to a stunning view over the lake.
Zonde om niet te doen tijdens of na de klim naar de Cirque de Troumouse. Eenmaal boven wordt je getrakteerd op een prachtig uitziet over het meer.
Nice climb to catch if you have done Cirque de Troumouse. Unfortunately, in the rain and fog, I couldn't see much of the view, but what I could see looked beautiful. The climb itself between the rocks is also worthwhile.
You can soon see the dam, and when you get to the top you can also cycle over it, a strange experience with such'a precipice.
Mooie klim om even mee te pakken als je Cirque de Troumouse gedaan hebt. Zelf in de regen en door de mist weinig van het uitzicht kunnen zien helaas, maar wat ik kon zien zag er prachtig uit. De klim zelf tussen de rotsblokken door mag er ook zeker zijn.
Je ziet de dam al snel liggen, en boven aangekomen kan je er ook overheen fietsen, een aparte ervaring met zo'n afgrond.
