Perched at the foot of the south face of the Dents du Midi, the Salanfe lake reflects the mineral world around it like a mirror. Accessible from the small village of Van d'en Haut, we'll reach the dam after an initial climb to warm up our legs. We will then walk around the lake, observing the magnificent surroundings of this very special place and learning about its history.
