Comment : VERY DANGEROUS DO NOT ATTEMPT IN WINTER
I had my hikes all planned and it wasn't supposed to be dangerous (for a naive beginner hiker) but I don't know why it didn't show up earlier on my phone app, the trail was closed (and probably always is until june) thing is I checked at 5AM and it wasn't...the closure popped up when I was 500M from the bisse a few hours later, should have turned back, didn't I also should have had crampons for ice, also didn't 2nd mistake only after the 3rd Impassable landslide (it looks like snow but was hard ice) did I give up, I came back later in August and it was fine 2022.08.11 (hike 088) but even in summer the source of Grand Bisse de Lens is not for everyone lots of void walk on 1-2 planks pretty scary and dangerous, so imagine attempting it without planks nor ropes, please don't do that wait till it opens around june or july, the bisses are in shadows so ice melts slowly
