Located at the southern end of the Aravis Range, Mont Charvin<\/a> dominates the town of Ugine. The Lac du Mont Charvin, nestled in a beautiful basin at the foot of the eponymous ridge is the goal of this hike.
\nThere is no real difficulty: a very short and steep passage under the Col des Porthets and a short climb in a rather steep lapiaz arriving at the lake are the only places that can be delicate in wet weather.
\nFor those who wish to admire the lake from a little higher outlook, a path goes right to the small plateau after the lapiaz towards a small summit (La Goenne) that overlooks the lake.
\nThe route passes through very open alpine pastures (no shade whatsoever). Plan a departure early in the morning so as not to suffer from the heat, which would make the difficulty more important.
