Plateau d'Emparis, Alpine plateau in Hautes-Alpes and Isère, France.
The Plateau d'Emparis extends at 2463 meters elevation, offering views of the Meije massif and containing two mountain lakes, Lac Lérié and Lac Noir.
The plateau's landscape developed through centuries of pastoral activities, with farmers bringing their herds to these high-altitude meadows for summer grazing.
The Maison des Alpages in Besse-en-Oisans presents exhibits about the mountain pastoral traditions that shaped this territory across generations.
Several marked hiking trails lead to the plateau, including the GR54 path connecting Le Chazelet to Besse-en-Oisans, with three mountain refuges providing accommodation.
The plateau features rare petrifying springs where mineral-rich water deposits create distinctive geological formations across the alpine environment.
