Hint

Intro

A magnificent forest track borders the lake on hilly ground from Corbières to Botterens. It is quiet on the way back, with magnificent views of the Moléson, the Dent de Broc and the Gibloux. Chocolate treats in Maison Cailler and an opportunity to swim in Les Laviaux.

Description

This first stage is a circular walk and begins in the forest, with a serious workout for your muscles. From Corbières to Botterens, the forest path runs alongside the lake over undulating terrain.

In Broc, take the opportunity to discover the largest stand of white willows in Switzerland, in a protected alluvial plain. Make the most of the panoramic views of the Moléson, the Dent de Broc or the Gibloux. Les Laviaux is the perfect spot for bathing and a moment of relaxation. The route to Corbières takes you along a quiet, peaceful path.

Tip: uncover the secrets around the origin and production of chocolate at the Maison Cailler in Broc.

An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
