Col des Mosses

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The north ramp is rather tame with a good 500 meters in altitude, the climb from the canton of Vaud demands considerably more with almost 1,000 meters to be overcome. Both sides are very scenic, the road is excellent throughout, the maximum gradient hardly exceeds the 10% mark.

Lake Lioson

Highlight • Lake

you have to start from the bottom of the village. the start indicated from the cheese dairy, the road is now forbidden to non-residents.
Not an easy hike. it climbs steeply from start to finish. the landscape and the swim are worth it. :)

Seen from above, this small mountain lake is even more beautiful. It is the perfect place for hiking with the family, with a restaurant where you can find animals.
