This pretty family walk around the lake of Champex and on the top of the resort is also decorated with didactic panels on the fauna and flora of the region.
At the entrance of the village, on the south-east side towards the Splendide hotel, take the path that goes up into the forest.
You will then reach the Alpine Garden where a visit is well worthwhile. The path then crosses the road and joins the lake.
Walk around the lake area and end your walk on one of the sunny terraces.
