The path winds through forests and pastures, offering superb panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. After a steep climb, you will finally reach Lake Tavaneuse, whose crystal-clear waters reflect the peaks of the Chablais.

This round trip hike offers a good balance between effort and discovery, perfect for nature and mountain lovers.
