Route Description for Alpine Pastures of Dedans Hike
Setting out from the trailhead, you will begin walking along the concrete embankment of the lake and then climb along the path that crosses the Vatseret alpine pasture, before continuing towards the mountain pasture of Mondralèche. This pasture is on less steep terrain and its location above the forest line offers a magnificent panorama of the Plaine du Rhône as well as the Alps.
At the corner of the path, you will see the old cellar next to which a source feeds the basin. You will continue to the high point of this path, before descending to cross the mountain pasture of Er de Chermignon and arrive at Er de Lens.
You continue the descent until you cross a stream, at which point you will begin the climb up to Belallui. To do so, you will first need to climb towards the Col de Pochet, crossing an alpine meadow that has inherited many sparse stones here and there, brought by the erosion of the mountain. You will then climb to the upper level of the valley, traversing an alpine meadow before attacking the col de Pochet, which is steep but not very long. From here, the trout will take you south until you arrive at Cry d’Er.
