Departure from Le Reposoir (Haute-Savoie)
Circular from Col de la Colombière above Le Grand Bornand. Steep slopes but what a reward when you reach the top. Avoid on rainy days or even after rain: steep and slippery.
Arrive early enough to park near the pass.

In the commune of Glières-Val-de-Borne, in the Bargy massif, Lac de Lessy is a true gem at the foot of the Pic de Jalouvre. The walk takes you through forests and mountain pastures. It features a short rocky section. The start from La Joux and the return via Montagne de Paradis and Cocogne are what make this walk unique. You pass the two-hundred-year-old hamlet of Les Chalets de Mayse. The Chalet de Lessy is nestled on the lakeside after the Col de la Forclaz.
