Description
At an elevation of 1,660 meters, Lac de Roy is a hub for numerous hiking trails and an ideal spot for hikers to take a break and admire the panoramic view of the Mont Blanc range that unfolds before their eyes.
Lake Roy occupies the cirque of a former hanging glacier high above Praz-de-Lys. In the summer, the setting is very inviting and relaxing. Surrounded by cows, you’ll have a pleasant time while admiring the Mont Blanc range.
It’s an easy 30-minute walk from Praz-de-Lys.
During summer vacation, the site can get very crowded: it’s best to go before noon or in the late afternoon, and consider taking the Giffre shuttle buses to get to the starting point.
