Constantly replenished with water, the lake was partly transformed into a peat bog by the growth and accumulation of plant debris. At the Col Luitel in particular, the typical proliferation of mosses (sphagnum mosses) caused the peat bog to bulge out of a shallower depression than the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/centcols.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LA-tourbiere-P1000175-1-1200x8001-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"83303\" src=\"https:\/\/centcols.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LA-tourbiere-P1000175-1-1200x8001-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centcols.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LA-tourbiere-P1000175-1-1200x8001-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/centcols.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/LA-tourbiere-P1000175-1-1200x8001-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">the peat bog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/centcols.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Le-Lac-Luitel-P1000177-1200x8001-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"83304\" src=\"https:\/\/centcols.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Le-Lac-Luitel-P1000177-1200x8001-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centcols.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Le-Lac-Luitel-P1000177-1200x8001-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/centcols.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Le-Lac-Luitel-P1000177-1200x8001-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lake Luitel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hydrography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lac Luitel is located in the <strong>north of the pass.<\/strong> It is fed by the Ruisseau de Rambert, which comes from the Arselle plateau (peat bog).
