The lake’s setting rewards travellers who are prepared for a long approach and the more demanding conditions above the lower valley. This is best treated as a dedicated hiking or horse-riding journey, with local advice on the route, places to stay and seasonal snow. The lake is separate from the lower park’s easy outings. Plan your pace around altitude and daylight, carry what you need, and leave the shore free of litter and unnecessary traces of camping.
