アベール＝リュランの湖・トップ6

Intersection Point: La Gouille aux Morts (Pond of the Dead) Altitude 650m Gouille aux Morts: What an ugly name for this charming little pond. Beavers, mallards, herons, and especially frogs take shelter in its tall grass and breed there. The place is calm and peaceful, far from the road to the Vallée Verte (Green Valley), although you can still hear the sounds of traffic. Above it, the Molière à Vachat stream is mirrored in its waters. Its reflection blends with the water lilies scattered there, creating perfect harmony. A delight for the eye of the walker. It's impossible not to think of Monet's "Water Lilies." It is said that, long ago, two stonemasons working at the "Molière," located about fifty meters above, fell to their deaths there on a Sunday (yes, a Sunday...the Lord's Day). See: H. Savoie: Les Molières du Mont Vouan. Or perhaps the pond got its name because a peasant was swallowed up there with his cart...

Lots of people but nice place

This lowland lake lies quietly in the middle of a protected and peaceful nature. A path goes around it for walkers. The lake is also an idyllic place for fishermen as well as flora and fauna enthusiasts.

Très le Mont is a small town from which the hike to Mont Forchat or Très la Paraz starts. Unfortunately, there are no public toilets at the car park, only a restaurant at the end of the town.

Nice family hike with a magnificent view of the lake and the Dent d'Oche (our favorite mountain). Extensive information boards about the history of the two castles.

physically easy but steep hike. Do not do with young children. With young children go around the lake picnic points and large area for lounging

Hamlet with hikers' car park and excursion restaurant. An interesting hiking trail to Mt Fourchat starts from here.
