Description

Accessible hike to Lac de Gers and its mountain pasture. Hike through the Combe de Gers in the heart of beautiful mountain scenery, and discover this remarkable natural area on the heights of Samoëns with the whole family.

This beautiful out-and-back walk offers hikers a privileged moment of disconnection.

As you retrace the course of the Torrent de Gers in its combe, you are surrounded by impressive peaks: from Pointe de Trapechet to Tête de Balacha on one side, from Tête Perfia to Tête Pelouse on the other, the scenery invites contemplation.

Following the trail, you'll make your way through rolling hills, pines and meadows to Lac de Gers, one of the Giffre Valley's major sites for discovering landscapes, mountain pastures and mountain wildlife.

Accompanied by the ever-present chamois and marmots, it's the perfect opportunity for a family outing in an exceptional setting.

Once on the shores of the lake, take time for a bite to eat at the Refuge de Gers before turning back.
