Circular hike around Lac Retaud
Recommended by Zoé Claessens
When Zoé Claessens isn’t racing for hundredths of a second on her BMX bike, she enjoys the tranquility of the mountains. Her favorite hike leads to Lac Retaud near Les Diablerets. This short and easy hike delights visitors with green alpine meadows, a relaxed atmosphere, and breathtaking views. Zoé especially loves the moment when the idyllic mountain lake comes into view. With a little luck, you can even see an impressive sea of fog over Lake Geneva from up above.
