    Hiking

    Smaller, less crowded, it is located just below the imposing North-West face of Frisson, along the normal route from Palanfrè.

    Hiking

    It is only 15 minutes of easy walking distance from the lower lake, so both are worth seeing. Going up towards the upper lake, it is possible to admire the lower one from almost the entire path. If you want more tranquility, the upper Frisson lake is much less crowded because almost everyone stops at the lower one.
