Wind your way through the heights of the Col des Mosses, savouring local specialities in three mountain refreshment stands: a gourmet hike combining unspoilt nature and local produce.
Mountain walks or discovering local produce? The choice is yours! This gourmet hike above the Col des Mosses features an itinerary punctuated by three tasty breaks in mountain taverns. With a walk of around 3h30, you'll enjoy an experience that's as gourmet as it is authentic.
From the Col des Mosses, head to the Charmilles snack bar for an aperitif of cheeses and cold meats, accompanied by a glass of wine (or syrup for the younger ones). The route continues along a forest track, then a path offering a beautiful view of the Pra Cornet plateau, to the restaurant on Lac Lioson. At your second gourmet break, you can choose from the following five dishes: cordon bleu and chips, ham on the bone, cheese crust, fondue or menu of the day.
After this comforting meal, a short digestive walk through the vegetation will take you to the Petits Lacs refreshment bar, where you can round off this culinary adventure with a homemade seasonal fruit tart and organic herbal tea.
For the return journey, a pleasant path takes you back to the Col, with a light heart and a full stomach.
