Quite difficult

  • A beautiful high-altitude pond with turquoise-blue waters, nestled in a pretty cirque and overlooking the great ROC BLANC, this hike will seduce you with its wild, unspoilt side. A change of scenery guaranteed!

  • Access: the hike starts from the Plaine d'Artigues parking lot.
    This parking lot is reached by taking the Bruyante forest track just above the village of Mijanes.
    This forest road leads initially to the La Restanque parking lot, but if you follow it for a further 1km or so, you'll reach the Plaine d'Artigues and the start of the hike.
