Itinerary description
From the parking at the camping, go up towards Salanfe. There are some metal stairs, but nothing difficult or dangerous.
When reaching the lake, do stop for an apricot cake at the mountain hut!
Turn around the lake anti-clockwise and go up towards Col d'Emaney on the other side of the lake. But then turn left towards Col de la Golette before reaching Col d'Emaney. You'll pass the beautiful lake d'Ottens and climb up towards the former gold and arsenic mines.
Afterwards, turn left back towards the lake Salanfe and from there the same way back that you came up.
