  • โšซ Not for beginners
  • ๐Ÿ”ต/๐Ÿ”ด Medium/Hard for good hikers. Very steep hike โ†—โฌ†

We will meet at the parking lot ๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธ at the end of the track, or as close as we can get by car ๐Ÿš—. If the track is not accessible, we will have to hike a bit more, but it will be worth it ๐Ÿ˜. The hike will start from the parking lot and follow the "Malsanne" river upstream โฌ†๏ธ. Along the way, we will see some tiny huts ๐Ÿ  used by the sheepkeepers ๐Ÿ‘, and some waterfalls ๐Ÿ’ฆ. Our destination is the Lac du Vallon, a stunning lake ๐Ÿž surrounded by mountains โ›ฐ. There, we will have our picnic, take a nap ๐Ÿ˜ด, and maybe even swim ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ in the refreshing water ๐Ÿ’ง. After that, we will head back to the parking lot by almost the same route ๐Ÿ˜Ž.
