- Directions

From the cable car arrival point, follow the path to Pas de Lona, which heads uphill in a southwesterly direction. The path goes through pastures at first, and then climbs up among the rocks to the Lac de Lona (2638m). Lona is an area of terraced slopes, lakes, green pastures and quiet, winding little streams. From the Lac de Lona, allow about 40 minutes to reach the summit of the Basset de Lona (to the south-east). It is necessary to add another hour to the meter to reach the Barrage de Moiry. Return to Grimentz is possible by bus (from end of June to mid-October).
