Description:
From the mountain hut of Merveilles (2130 m), take the GR52 (beacon 92) in the direction of Vallée des Merveilles.
Follow the path with red and white marking which goes up by two or three zigzags, then remains on the same level up to the beacon 93 (2176 m).
At the beacon, ignore on the left the pathway ascending to the mountain pass of Arpette, but continue on the GR which goes into the Vallée des Merveilles. The pathway then passes near engraving areas indicated by explanatory panels.
Continue to climb steadily to reach the lake of Merveilles (2294 m)
Return to the mountain hut of Merveilles takes place via the reverse route
