Lake Plagnes Discovery trail

Abondance

Description

You'll walk along this mountain lake and then climb along a waterfall beneath the woods. You reach the peaceful Cubourré plateau, bathed by a stream and overlooked by the Pointe d'Entre Deux Pertuis and the Pointe de Chavache. A wide track leads to a mysterious boulder. On the way back, you can stay on the track: it leads straight back to the parking lot.

Host portrait

I am the Global Geopark label awarded to the Chablais region by UNESCO. I reward the exceptional geological value of its landscapes and its actions to preserve, enhance, raise awareness and promote sustainable development. My offer allows visitors to discover the diversity of local riches and their link to the geological history that has shaped this exceptional territory.

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

You will walk along this mountain lake and then climb along a waterfall in the woods. You will reach a peaceful plateau, that of Cubourré, bathed by a stream and overlooked by La Pointe d'Entre Deux Pertuis and that of Chavache. A wide track will lead you to a mysterious block. On the way back, you can stay on the track: it goes directly to the car park.

Sustainable tourism

By raising awareness of the local geological heritage and its links with human activities, the Chablais UNESCO Global Geopark raises awareness and understanding of important social issues on our dynamic planet: natural hazards, climate change, exploitation of natural resources, evolution of life and sustainable development.
