Description

Parking du Lac du Pontet. Première partie un peu en pente, mais petit espace à plat juste à côté de la barrière. Vue splendide ! Souvent surpeuplé. Le lac est à quelques centaines de mètres plus haut, sublime.

The Camper’s take

Mountain parking with stunning panoramic views over the valley and glaciers, just minutes from Lac du Pontet (5-10 min walk). Narrow and winding road access requiring skilled maneuvering. Sloped terrain, minimal services. Very busy spot, especially in peak season, with variable atmosphere depending on occupancy.

Highlights

  • Stunning view over the valley and the glaciers
  • Close to Pontet Lake with swimming possible
  • Possible quiet in low season
  • Parking spots available before the barrier

Good to know

  • Road access is very narrow and winding, delicate maneuvers
  • Very steep terrain, few or no truly level spots
  • Overcrowded in peak season, atmosphere spoiled by density
  • Visitors littering and parking in disorganized ways

Motorhome access : Very difficult access: extremely narrow mountain road with tight turns requiring repeated maneuvering. Motorhomes up to 6-7 m possible but tight. Generally sloped terrain with few flat spots
