Walking route: Lake and Arvouin Pass from Sevan

A hike without difficulties to contemplate the lake of Arvouin, the mountains of Chablais and sumptuous landscapes on the summits of La Chapelle d'Abondance.

The lac and col d'Arvouin is a half-day hike that takes in a breathtaking landscape from the Sevan parking lot, just 300 meters below.

You'll first reach the glacial lake at the foot of the Linleu summit, in the heart of the Cornettes de Bise massif.

Near Lac d'Arvouin, the mountain pasture of the same name is home to herds of Abondance cows, which supply the milk for the local cheese.

You then reach the Col d'Arvouin or Col de Savalenaz, at 1856 m, which acts as the border between France and our Swiss neighbors.
