Presentation
Within a mineral setting, these deep blue lakes are easily accessible by gondola.
The four Robert lakes are located at an altitude of 1,998 meters, and occupy a 28-hectare area at the bottom of the basin of a natural cirque. They are bordered and dominated to the east by Petit Van (2,439 meters), Grand Van (2,448 meters) and Grand Sorbier (2,526 meters).
In summer, you can enjoy numerous hikes at the gateway to the high mountains, as well as fishing for rainbow trout and Arctic grayling in the Robert lakes. It's also the only lake in Chamrousse where bathing is permitted (note: altitude lake = cold water + fauna and flora to be respected).
In winter, you can go ice diving here, and discover a ski slope and lift named after the lake.
The 2,677 ha site is also part of the Natura 2000 network, under the name "Cembraie, pelouses, lacs et tourbières de Belledonne, de Chamrousse au Grand Colon".
