Tréchauffé lookout parking lot

Highlight • Parking

More than a parking lot, this place offers a breathtaking view of the Dranse Valley and Lake Geneva. You can walk to the nearby Tréchauffé goat farm to taste their cheeses.

Very nice view! Part of the route is permanently closed due to slipperiness, but is passable in itself.

Wonderful tour but after all the rain très schofel slippery and muddy. Wiesi Kommot claims we did it in 1.5 hours, I don't know. With breaks we needed about 3.5 hours.
