Activities: We took the cable car and chairlift to reach the Pont d’Espagne and then the Lac de Gaube. The cable car was a bit scary for the girls, but the views from the top were breathtaking
Highlights: We loved the scenic views, the turquoise waters of the lake, and the impressive cascade at the Pont d’Espagne. Victor and Charly enjoyed a longer hike to the Oulettes de Gaube refuge, seeing more waterfalls and marmots on the way ✨
