Lac des Fétoules by le Refuge de la Lavey

At 2249 m, Lac des Fétoules is a small mountain lake just the way we like them! Set on a small grassy plateau, the view over the valley and the Écrins glaciers is magical. A great hike to do with an overnight stay at the Lavey refuge for families who want to experience a real immersion in the heart of the Oisans mountains and the Parc des Écrins.
