Hiking tour

the tour of the 2 lakes from Orbey

  • 6h
  • 19,2km
  • +1050m
  • Challenging

One of the greatest satisfactions of this hike is to reach the lakes on foot from Orbey, a village at the foot of the mountains. The difference in altitude is significant but the landscapes are so beautiful that the kilometres follow one another naturally. Make this sporty hike a day-long adventure in the fresh air by planning a picnic break at altitude.

Our favourites of the hike:

  • reach the two lakes on foot from the valley
  • discover the source of the black lake, a haven of peace
  • walk along the crest of the white lake and enjoy its panoramic view
