High‑alpine Lac de Tzanteleina sits beneath rocky peaks and glaciers, offering mirrorlike reflections, stark moraine lines and alpine wildflowers. Reachable by a steady hike from Rhêmes-Notre-Dame (trailheads with parking); no entry fee but follow park rules (area borders Gran Paradiso). Best visited at sunrise or late afternoon for low light and reflections; summer–early autumn for trails and blooms, winter for dramatic snow but needs mountaineering gear.
