Description

An easy family hike through the alpine pastures of Praz de Lys Sommand. The lookout at the summit offers a remarkable view stretching from Lake Geneva to the Alps.

Lac de Roy, a stunning mountain lake in the heart of the alpine pasture, offers a refreshing break!
At the summit, two orientation tables with 360-degree panoramic views help you get your bearings. From mid-July to mid-August, the area is accessible by chairlift. The view stretches from the Jura Mountains and Lake Geneva to the Chablais Massif, Mont Blanc, and the Aravis.

Return via the same route.
