June 24, 2025,Réallon - Lac de Saint-Apollinaire

This is a beautiful, easy hike that begins beneath the larches, those amazing trees, and leads to a peaceful, well-visited lake. The return journey, more so than the outward journey, offers beautiful panoramic views of this sacred Serre-Ponçon lake!
