The five lakes of Prals are sheltered behind the sharp peaks of Pointe André, Mont Neiglier and the summit of Paranova, spreading their calm, shallow waters in the heart of a vast mountain pasture.

Description:
From the mountain hut of la Madone de Fenestre (1905 m), go towards the church. To its right (beacon.357), follow the signposting of the GR 52 mule track that goes down East towards the cow shed of la Madone.
At the beacon 359 remain on the red and white marking till the beacon 367 (1890 m) where we leave these signposting. Then take the yellow signposted pathway that rises Southeast in the valley of Ponset until reaching the mountain pass of the Cinq Lacs (Baisse des Cinq Lacs, 2330 m-beacon 366).
Turn to the other slope to descend into the vast flat land where the lakes of Prals meet. Continue on the signposted pathway by descending.
At the beacon 364, still on the signposted pathway, turn right into the valley of Prals to go to beacon 363 and then continue to lose altitude till the beacon 362.
Cross the stream by the footbridge on the right to go up the small hillock and come out on the departmental road (1840 m-beacon 361) perpendicular to the sanctuary of Fenestre.
Take the road for about a hundred meters and then, at the beacon 360, turn right on the signposted path which branches off to the left after the cow shed to go up to the mountain hut of la Madone de Fenestre.
