The magnificent glacial Lac de Roy is a must-see of our resort. Panoramic view of the Grandes Alpes.
Getting to the lake via this mountainside footpath facing Mont-Blanc is an incredible experience.
You’ll most likely see marmots on the pastures, so take the time to observe them!
During the summer holidays, the site can get very crowded: it’s best to go before noon or in the late afternoon, and consider taking the Giffre shuttle buses to get to the starting point.
