Trail Reviews

Judith

May 27, 2025, Lac de Monge- Sommet de Monge- Col de Clopouse-Lac de Monge

A beautiful circular tour through Alpine fauna, especially impressive in May/June. The trail begins and ends in the forest, partly resembling a fairytale forest, and later offers unobstructed views of the Alpine panorama.
