Lac Achard loop
A savoir avant votre visite
Achard lake is a natural site with a summer peak. Specific regulations by municipal by-law: fire, wood gathering, camping, gathering, fishing and swimming (even for dogs) are strictly forbidden (subject to fines). Dogs must be kept on a leash.
This small lake is located in an exceptional natural setting. It is an ideal destination for a family outing, with children. The path stays interesting with its berries, pine trees and a magnificent view of the Taillefer.
From Saint-Martin-d'Uriage take the road towards Chamrousse (D111), pass Chamrousse 1650 - Recoin and park at Chamrousse 1750 - Roche Béranger in the "La Croisette" parking lot. From the "La Croisette" parking lot, take the narrow road up to Chalet le Malamute, until you come to a wide bend to the left where a track branches off. Follow this path to the right, towards the lake.
Initially gently sloping, the rocky path alternates between gentle ascents and descents, with easy sections over rocky slabs. Leaving the path leading up from the Arselle meadow to the right, you finally reach the grassy plateau of Lac Achard (1917m). The numerous boulders and small streams scattered across the plateau are a great playground for children.
⚠ Please note: the Espace Naturel Sensible (ENS) "Tourbière de l'Arselle et lac Achard" is a protected area (classified APPB - Arrêtés Préfectoraux de Protection Biotope), so there are a few rules to observe to help protect it. Swimming, lighting fires, camping, gathering and dumping garbage are strictly forbidden, as is bivouacking during the peak season between early May and late October. Please stay on the trails.
☆ The little extra: the "hiking star" summer medal for children!
On presentation of a photo taken at the hiking site, brave little hikers will be awarded a named diploma + possible purchase of the "lac Achard" silver star to hang proudly on the backpack (on sale for €2.50 at Tourist Offices).
