Lac des Cerces (2410 m.)
Hike up to the Lac des Cerces from the road to the Col du Galibier, plenty of water in the streams coming down from the lakes but the grass already turning yellow in the alpages. The weather was a bit dodgy but good enough to hike high up on granite of the Massif des Cerces; this massif has several classic climbing routes as well as a military training camp. Part of our route was the GR57, a variant of the Tour du Mont Thabor (3082 m.). Fine view of the Le Grand Galbier (3228 m.), the highest peak of this massif.
