A very hilly getaway with beautiful views. Views of the lake, the Mosson River, and the mountains in the distance. Places with games, benches, and sports equipment. And the lake for fishing.

Some parts are steep and slippery. The loop itself is no longer feasible as it is, on 3 occasions we had to turn back or choose another route because the route was no longer accessible (vegetation too dense, privatization of the passage)

The lake is very empty. And summer is not here yet!😞we can go before the hut along the bank since there is less water to access the parking lot and continue the walk
