Description

A sporty hike that will take you to discover the Plagnes lake and the Tavaneuse lake, on the foothills of one of the many peaks of the Chablais massif: La Pointe d'Ardens.



The tour of the Pointe d'Ardens lakes will show you the beauty of the Haute-Savoie countryside.

Departing from the Lac des Plagnes, you will first pass through the chalets d'Ardens to the south of the summit of the same name: La Pointe d'Ardens, which rises to an altitude of 1959 m.

You'll then reach the Lac de Tavaneuse at the foot of the cliffs of the Pointe du Piron, between scree slopes and alpine meadows, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Chablais region.

You then descend to the north of the Pointe d'Ardens to reach the Lac des Plagnes. Take advantage of the restaurants and picnic tables near the lake to recuperate from your hike and enjoy this must-see geosite in the UNESCO Chablais World Geopark.
