Day 4 - Lac de Barbeyroux
Half day walk through mixed forest and alpine snow meadows to a frozen lake
On a day of fresh new snow - this is one of my favourite winter snow shoe walks in the whole of the Champsaur valley.
Walking along the south facing side of the valley, the sun is with you all the way, sparkling off the snow.
The beech woods, with a layer of snow delicately balanced over their leafless tangled branches, the pine trees laden down with snow blankets just waiting to be pinged, the open meadows of virgin snow crying out for you to be the first to mark your tracks and finally the lake itself with its unique crystal formations, icicles and ice patterns.... I could go on but yes - all extremely beautiful and breathtaking!
Again there are several options for getting to the lake, some involve a bit of a climb and some involve a simple traverse - we can decide on the day what you fancy!
