Hiking to Lovenex lake

A mountain hike on the heights of Lake Geneva to discover the lake of Lovenex between France and Switzerland.

The objective of this hike is to discover the Lake of Lovenex nestled in a very wild setting in the middle of a combe bounded by the Grande Miette and the Mont Valeur. You will be able to discover the Lake of Lovenex from a totally different angle. Indeed, once arrived at the Pas de Lovenex, the hiker will be able to observe the eponymous lake, as if suspended above Lake Geneva situated below.

If the name Lovenex evokes the presence of wolves, you will more likely find ibexes on your path, which are very numerous in this sector of the Chablais. Magnificent panoramas follow one another along the route.
