The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
High mountain parking lot (2000 m) with difficult access but exceptional views of Mont-Pourri and border glaciers. Water point confirmed. Trailhead for 5-lakes hike. Very calm atmosphere at night. Narrow, winding road with final km unpaved: not recommended for motorhomes, ideal for vans. Concrete platform for leveling. Summer crowding possible.
Highlights
