● TREKKING AROUND EMOSSON LAKE
Europa
- France
This is a fascinating multi day trek in which you can visit very different environments: from the lake where you can take a swim to that of the mid/high mountain with a 3000m summit, passing by the idyllic Bérard valley and its forests to the picturesque villages in the low valley. All of this with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and the Emosson lake.
