    The panorama from the summit of Le Hucel offers a magnificent view of Lake Geneva. From March to May, you can observe migratory birds.

    Magnificent chestnut trees line the path leading to Troubois.

    You'll also discover the place where Jean-Jacques Rousseau liked to meditate (a stone symbolizes the spot).
    Shortly afterwards, be careful not to fall into the Cottelet wolf trap!

    Alternative: you can start from Meillerie.
