Climbing on this rock is the promise of one of the most beautiful views of the Beaufortain massif, from Mont-Blanc to Pierra Menta, with an exceptional view of Lake Roselend. Here we go, don't wait any longer!

The path that goes up in the forest is calling you!
Follow it in the shade of the trees, which you will leave very quickly to arrive in a very open landscape.

But what is this task of blue sky that we see below? It gets bigger as you progress on the path, to invade the entire bottom of the valley... It is the Lac de Roselend which is revealed to you!

Here you enjoy the best belvedere on this extraordinary lake whose banks, closed by an imposing dam, hug the foot of the mountains.

The ridge path that leads you to Roche Parstire offers you a breathtaking view of the Beaufortain massif that you have plenty of time to observe while walking. Do you recognize Mont-Blanc? Have you spotted the Pierra Menta?

When you pass La Charmette, it is time to go down again on a path that makes large bends in the mountain pastures. Look down on the mountain flowers, more modest, but so varied and colorful!
