Trail description

A 4.4 km climb of about 380 m from the Emosson dam to the Lac du Vieux Emosson and the dinosaur tracks just beyond it, where more than 800 footprints, about 240 million years old, cross a tilted slab. The tracks are snow-free only from July to October. The route starts with a road and a tunnel along the lake.
