A hike of medium difficulty, which will allow you to cross the authentic mountain pastures of the Chablais and to discover the Darbon lake, nestled under the beautiful peaks which surround it.
Departing from Chalet de Bise, the Lac de Darbon hike is an invitation to discover the wide-open spaces of the mountains. Lac de Darbon is a very fragile natural environment. To avoid damaging this ecosystem and to respect the tranquillity of the area, please do not swim in it or let your dogs swim in it.
You'll first cross the Bise mountain pastures, a Natura 2000 listed site and emblematic of the Chablais UNESCO World Geopark.
You will cross 3 passes during your walk.
First, you'll climb to the Col de Bise (1915 m), where you'll enjoy a magnificent panorama of Lake Geneva, the Dent du Vélan, and below, Lake Neuteu, with the tête de Charousse ridge on your right and the Pointe de Pavis cliffs on your left.
You will then reach the Col de Pavis (1944 m) and the Lac de Darbon (1813 m), an ideal spot for a picnic.
Your final pass is the Col de Floray (1940 m).
A steep descent takes you back to the chalets de Bise.
