Miroir des Fétoules by Pont du Diable

A loop starting from St Christophe en Oisans, alternating between mineral and vegetation, to discover a high-altitude waterhole offering a breathtaking view of the Vénéon Valley and the Tête des Fétoules.

ITINERARY:
Park in the parking lot under the church in Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans, then take the road down to the Pont du Diable and take the path on your right. A few hairpin bends then lead up to the Vierge du Collet overlooking the valley. The path then climbs gently up to the hamlet of Le Puy, once inhabited all year round and even boasting a school. But it's still very much alive in summer. Don't miss the pretty oratory, then take the climb above Le Puy towards Le Miroir des Fétoules.
Enjoy the lake before continuing the loop along the path towards Saint Christophe.

Take care not to take the path towards "Raye du Grand Travers", which is a very airy trail.
