Starting at the Grand Massif Express terminus, this hike connects Lac des Gouilles Rouges to Lac de l’Airon through the mountain pastures, offering superb views of the Haut-Giffre peaks

Starting at the top station of the Grand Massif Express gondola, this hike takes you on a journey to discover two of Samoëns’ most iconic high-altitude lakes. First, head to Lac des Gouilles Rouges, nestled in the heart of the alpine pastures, where the surrounding peaks are reflected in its waters. The trail then continues through open mountain terrain, offering magnificent panoramic views of the Giffre Valley, the surrounding mountain ranges, and the vast high-altitude pastures. The route leads to Lac de l’Airon, a true haven of tranquility surrounded by alpine pastures where herds graze during the summer season. This high-altitude lake is the perfect spot for a contemplative break amidst the unspoiled landscapes of the Grand Massif. With alpine trails, sweeping views, and a chance to explore the region’s pastoral heritage, this moderate-level hike is accessible to a wide range of hikers and allows you to fully enjoy the natural beauty of the mountains in summer.
