Les Merlas is a peak in the Swiss Alps, near the village of Grandvillard. This is a picturesque hike along a well-defined ridge, with views of Gruyères Castle and the Vanil Noir massif. The hike is rated T3, meaning it requires a bit of endurance and confidence, but no special equipment. At the top of Les Merlas you will find a wooden cross and a guest book that hikers can sign. The hike can be combined with two neighboring peaks, Le Van and Tsermon, for a longer and more challenging loop.
