A family walk. At Lake Javen, restaurant, children playground. Leisure site (Javen Loisirs) and fishing (fee applies). And as a backdrop admire the Aravis massif, you will see the Aiguilles de Varans and the fine line of the Aiguille Croche.

Opposite Megève Tourisme, take rue du Dr Charles Socquet, continue along route des Perchets, and after a short climb, turn right towards chemin de Lady. Then follow the signs for Le Tour and Lac de Javen. You will pass close to the Caboche cable car. Continue along route du Tour, following the signposts. At the end of the road, with the Tour ski lift on your right, take the path straight ahead that climbs through the woods (Le Babotch restaurant and La Petite Fontaine). After about a 30-minute walk, you’ll reach the lake (restaurant, children’s play area, leisure centre (Javen Loisirs) and fishing area, fee applies). For the return journey, there are several options: - Follow the same route as on the way up. - At the hamlet of Le Tour, take the chemin de Fanou then the route des Perchets. - Take the track to the Pont de la Rée; the path through the woods on your left leads to the hamlet of Le Tour, then head down via the Chemin de Fanou and the route des Perchets. - At the Pont de la Rée, join the route du Tour, turn right towards Le Maz (for 400m), and opposite the chapel, return to the village via the chemin du Maz. Allow 1 hour for the descent. - You can take the Meg’bus, get off at the Maz chapel, then take the Route Ed. de Rothschild to the “Le Planellet” stop. Subject to current timetables.

Tips
2 options to reach the lake :
- Park at Rée – drive in the direction of Mont d’Arbois/Tour; take the road on the left before the bridge and then the Chemin de la Rée on the right and park near the bridge. The lake is a 20 min walk from here
- park at the hamlet of Tour (small car park opposite the drag lift). The lake is a 30 min walk from here.

Plain text period

From 01/05 to 01/11 daily.
Until September 30: Access to the lake closed from Monday to Wednesday included.

Subject to favorable weather.
