From Alpe du Grand Serre, follow the paved road to Le Poursollet. Then take the GR50 foot path to Lac Fourchu. Go around the left-hand side of the lake and up to the Pas de l’Envious, before walking down to the hut. The landscape is reminiscent of the northern tundra, with its numerous little lakes and frog ponds. Some retain fossilised tree trunks in their sediment, evidence of the forest in these mountains 6000 years ago. The entire plateau is protected by the European network of outstanding natural environments, Natura 2000. A word from the hut keeper.
