Trail Reviews

Xavier
March 2, 2025, Le rocher merveilleux et le lac de Nantua – boucle

Magnificent hike, in clear weather, very beautiful landscape, the lake is magnificent, the forests of different species of trees. Good physical condition to have for the route, starts in positive elevation on slightly steep paths and ends on negative paths, of stones and roots, but it is very pleasant in the undergrowth, the viewpoint at the "Roche merveilleuse" is aptly named. The poles will help a lot. Hike to do in good weather to better enjoy the beauty of the spots and the changing color of the lake depending on the altitude.
