Between mountain streams and lakes, don't miss the Oursière waterfall. A beautiful hike that takes you to the foot of this 80m-high waterfall. Take advantage of the cool, sparkling waters to stop for a rest before heading back to the resort (2h30 uphill to reach the Robert lakes, then 1h30 to reach the resort).
