Walking tour of the Plan du Lac refuge

Today, the promise of a blueberry tart and a nap at high altitude motivates
you to tackle the only small challenge of your hike. Forgot the crowded
Bellecombe parking lot! Put the big, overloaded backpack aside! Today, like
an apprentice explorer, you travel light to meet Little Miss Marmot, soft
cotton grass, majestic glaciers, and peaks that seem to rise up suddenly,
out of nowhere.
What a surprise awaits you as you step into the valley! A well-marked and
very accessible path awaits you, offering several stops along the way for
both young and old to enjoy at their leisure.
Just a few more steps and... you'll be fascinated to see marmots running
around! They're not shy at mealtimes that's for sure, but they like a little
discretion when they're taking a nap. And yes, they have their own little
habits! To get to know them close up, ask for the services of a mountain
guide. You'll discover unsuspected facets of this little mammal, a real
emblem of the Vanoise.
The magic of the place has worked its charm, and before you know it, you've
arrived at the refuge. Time to order a snack!
