This moderate level hike invites you to discover the mountain pastures on the southern side of the Mont de Grange.
The Plagnes lake and the Cubourré site are Unesco Chablais Geopark sites. From the glaciers to the bulging peat bogs, the path around the lake takes you through the landscapes that have succeeded one another over the last 20,000 years.
You will then cross the Montagne de Lens, where the word "Montagne" refers to the mountain pasture where pastoral activity is practiced....This moderate level hike invites you to discover the mountain pastures on the southern side of the Mont de Grange.

You will then cross the Montagne de Lens, where the word "Montagne" refers to the mountain pasture where pastoral activity is practiced. You can take advantage of the "chèvre" (a wooden fountain dug into a tree trunk), to refresh yourself.
You will then reach the chalets of Lenlevay, the highest point (1733 m), with an exceptional panorama of the Swiss summits and the Chablais, by passing on a small section of the GR5. The path crosses alpine meadows and rhododendron heaths, the natural habitat of the cock of the walkerel (little grouse).
The descent invites you to discover traditional mountain chalets and small chapels and oratories.
