Beyond the boundaries of Valfréjus resort, immerse yourself in the enchanting beauty of an untouched mountainous landscape. Be one of the privileged few who reach the Mount Tabor refuge via the GR5 trail and treat yourself to a string of high-altitude lakes. What a complete change of scene!

From very first twists and turns on the Lavoir trail, you start to gain height. Setting foot in Loza is like stepping into a world made purely for contemplation. Let the great outdoors work its magic. A diverse environment welcomes you, with Mount Tabor as a backdrop. The Nature Reserve, in a zone that lies between 1,750m and 3,178m above sea level, has many exciting discoveries in store. The trail takes you through the high-altitude grasses so delightful to marmots. Hidden behind the rocky formations, they keep a watchful eye on your progress and sound the alarm with their distinctive whistle. As the slope steepens, you're overcome with the thrill of exploration. A sense of infinity takes hold of you. The Mount Tabor Refuge awaits you, nestled in its lush valley. Let's go! Just a bit further, and the Rond and Long lakes will reveal their glories step by step. Recognise the Three Kings behind you, standing proudly? Balthazar, Melchior and Gaspard are lords and masters of the place.
