This is a pleasant adventure that all can enjoy.

    Route Description for Extended Lakes Walk

    Setting out from the trailhead, the Lakes Walk will take you west through the resort, making a short southward detour to a scenic viewpoint, before backtracking and arriving at the edge of Lac d’Icogne. From here, the trail will loop around to the southeast on the way to Etang des Miriouges. From here, you will make your way northeast to Etang de la Moubra, before passing by Etang Blanc and Etang Long.
