A peaceful walk up to the small Lovitel lake and the Clots refuge on a lovely elevated footpath overhanging Chambon lake and Romanche.From Aymes car park, continue along the track that changes little by little in to a footpath. A lovely crossing, elevated occasionally, on the shale slopes overhanging Chambon lake enabling you to easily reach Lovitel lake via a gentle hill. On the ledge, there is a 1st trail discovery signpost turn either left (faster) or right towards the lake (discovery trail) to reach Clots hamlet. The refuge that you will find here provides an agreeable place for a rest to regain your strength. before descending using the same itinerary.

Departure

Mizoën

Ambiance

"On a hard Autumn day, I hike towards Lovitel lake. The rain accompanies me. The small lake nestling in the curves of the lower mountain shelf seems to be sleeping. It is calm, magnificent and full of promise: in the summer months, you can see the Purple Loosestrife flowering here, you can hear the Common Midwife Toad "singing", you can see the Meije looming in the distance... Without a doubt : I have to come back !"S. Durix, Park Ranger in Oisans 

Access

From Bourg-d’Oisans, take the N91 towards Lautaret mountain pass. After the Chambon dam, turn left towards Mizoën, then right towards Singuigneret. After the tunnels, turn right until Aymes hamlet.

Advised parking

Parking des Aymes

Advice

Elevated footpath, sometimes very high up, keep a close eye on children. Footpath totally inadvisable in the winter !
