Up there, a feeling of space and grandeur opens up to us, the mineral of the summits rubs shoulders with the green of the mountain pastures

and the turquoise of the lakes where we can observe some fishermen who have come to "tease" trout and salmon

at the lakes of Pêtre and Merlets ! The mysterious upper lake of Merlets is the deepest of the Vanoise!
