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).

Safety instructions
Choose a walk that is at the right level for you and examine the route carefully.

Check the weather forecast. The weather changes quickly in the mountains.

Please protect the environment by keeping it clean. Leave nothing behind except footprints. Wild animals like peace and quiet too! Please avoid disturbing them in any way.

As the warning signs indicate, you should not park in the river bed or on the banks. These areas are at constant risk of flooding, which may occur several times each day.
