About This Trail
The Eiffel Lake trail branches off the Larch Valley route to reach a strikingly coloured alpine lake sitting in the shadow of Eiffel Peak. The route climbs through larch forest and alpine meadows, offering ever-expanding views of the Valley of the Ten Peaks behind. The lake itself changes colour with the season and light, ranging from deep teal to milky turquoise, set against a backdrop of scree slopes and glacial remnants.
