Pelvoux
Eychauda Lake
Beautiful hike starting at the Chambran carpark, towards a glacial lake. Plan on 2¾ hour to get there (5-hour round trip).
This hike is best starting at the Chambran chalets, in the Pelvoux district, where there is a very good refreshment bar and restaurant.
The climb is mainly through the pastures of the Eychauda valley.
Good walking shoes are advised, particularly if you wish to go slightly higher than the Euchauda lake, the most beautiful glacial lake in the area.
At the beginning of the summer, the lake may still be frozen with blocks of ice floating on the surface. It can be a bit chilly, so make sure you have an extra layer to put on after the walk up.
