From the top of the Grandes Platières, follow the signs for the “Lac et Refuge de Gers”. The trail leads down into a combe, skirting around the lake and passing through the Chalets de Gers, before heading to the “Combe des foges”. The trail then climbs back up to the Chalets de Foges via the Pas des Foges. As you make your way up the valley side, enjoy beautiful views of the Haut Giffre mountains. At the Col de Platé, head back to the Grandes Platières.
