Lovely views. Rough trail with big roots and large stones along the Giffre upstream.

Giffre River

Highlight • River

Magnificent panorama along the wild river on the fir forests and the imposing peaks of the Alps. A walk along the Giffre allows you to discover the superb Lac Bleu and the Vernay footbridge.

This lake lives up to its name with crystal clear water in a deep blue hue as it flows into the lake from a network of underground rivers. The lake has a beach with a supervised swimming area and a wide choice of activities including, among others, castle and inflatable games, horse riding, beach volleyball and tennis courts, etc. Located by the lake is an excellent bar and restaurant, where there can also be some fireworks and other events. The lake is only a few minutes walk from some of our properties in Morillon and our guests staying in Samoëns can get there by a scenic walk / bike ride along the Giffre or by car.
