Bikepacking trip with a night bivouac on the shores of Lac des Rousses, beach side. Very windy at night, so wrap up warm. Otherwise, a magnificent lake with few people (early August).

A very nice border village to relax in after a bike ride (from Geneva in our case). We spent the afternoon and a night camping near the lake. Shops nearby for supplies 👍

Warning (15/08/2023)! The footbridge is temporarily closed (cable break). It is however possible to cross below by the large rocks. This remains a delicate passage.

A glacial overflow, this lake is surrounded by bogs. It freezes in winter, which makes it possible to go ice skating!
