Lake Lestio (2510 m)
Sandwiched between 3000 m peaks at Ristolas, Lac Lestio at the foot of Mont Viso feels like a lake at the end of the world. It's here, in the nearby scree, that the Guil river rises, feeding the lake along the way.
Lac de Clot Sablé (2720 m)
Lac de Clot Sablé, on the left bank of the Guil, is a mirror image of the Viso.
Lake Egorgéou (2394 m)
Baricle Lake (2415 m)
