    Abwechslungsreiche Wanderung mit toller Aussicht! Inkl. Moräne, Gletscher und Brücke. Habe die Wanderung in entgegengesetzter Richtung gemacht (somit ein wenig sportlicher).

    Ich habe "nur" die unmittelbare Umgebung der Passhöhe inklusive Lac Retaud erwandert. Unbedingt empfehlenswert ist allerdings der Besuch der Cascade du Dar gleich unterhalb der Passhöhe (Col du Pillon), wo das Wasser fast 100 Meter talwärts prescht. In einer kurzen Wanderung in knapp 15 Minuten erreichbar. Weitere Infos: https://www.teddy-b.ch/ausflugsziele/cascade-du-dar-les-diablerets-vd-steiler-zahn/

    Lohnenswerte Wanderung. Der Aufstieg zu Beginn bis zur Passhöhe ist relativ beschwerlich und führt teilweise über rutschige Wurzelwege. Oben angekommen wurden wir mit einem Meer von Enzian belohnt.
