A gentle hike to L’Alpage restaurant
A relaxing walk from Thollon to Col de Creusaz across rolling ‘alpages’ gives you fresh air, picnicking possibilities, and magnificent views of Évian, Lake Geneva, and the Swiss countryside. As well as a rewarding meal or drink in L’Alpage at the end.
This hike takes you to the Alpage restaurant at the Col de Creusaz. It can be complemented with an equally gentle walk around Mont Bénand or an altogether more challenging circuit of the dramatic Mont César.
The walk to Col de Creusaz and the Mont Bénand circuit are suitable for all with the exception of pushchairs. However, the optional Mont César circuit is more demanding and includes a near-vertical climb of several metres on a ladder.
