Easy hike to the summit of the Danay mountain. From the Lac de Confins, reach one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Aravis, at the crossroads between the communes of La Clusaz, Le Grand Bornand and Saint Jean de Sixt.
Ideal for a family outing, the route starts at the Lac des Confins. At the foot of the Aravis mountain range, the scenery is breathtaking, with magnificent views of the surrounding peaks.
At the end of the winter season, Lac des Confins hosts the famous Défi Foly, a local event during which the most daring skiers attempt to cross the lake.
Heading towards Le Danay, you'll follow a trail through rolling countryside, pastures, undergrowth and clearings. A large cross marks your arrival at the Tête du Danay, the highest point of the walk.
From its central position, the Tête du Danay offers a magnificent 360° panorama: on one side, the Grand-Bornand below and the Bargy range, on the other the Aravis range and its numerous combes, with Mont-Blanc in the background. An orientation table at the summit will give you a better idea of the surrounding landscape.
Once back at Les Confins, don't hesitate to take the time to enjoy the lake and the many activities available in summer (leisure area, mini-golf, etc.).
