Hike through the foothills of the Cornettes de Bise, on the heights of Vacheresse. Discover the Fontaine lake and the surrounding marshes, as well as the superb view of Lake Geneva from the Sémy mountain pasture.
Starting from the Lac de Fontaine, the route takes you along a mountain pasture path to the place called Sémy.
Take the time to walk around this beautiful mountain lake, nestled under the Mont de Chillon. This natural setting is home to several aquatic species, including the fario trout, the rainbow trout and the minnow, making this area a popular spot for many fishing enthusiasts.
The route continues along a ridge path to the Sémy mountain chalet. Here, the view of Lake Geneva is unique. Overlooking the Vallon de Bise, various panoramas of the cliffs of Mont Chauffé, the Cornettes de Bise, the mountain pastures of Ubine and the Mont de Grange await you.
Once back down to the Quatres Chemins crossroads, the return journey follows the Eau Noire stream. This watercourse forms the wetland of the Léchère marshes, next to the Fontaine lake, your starting point.
Whatever your hike, remember to take cereal bars, sufficient water, sunglasses, sun cream, a small first aid kit, as well as clothes adapted to your outing according to the season and the weather forecast.

- Pets welcome Dogs must be kept on a leash due to the presence of livestock and wildlife. Livestock guard dogs are present in this area, so it is recommended that you adapt your behaviour to minimise disturbance to the livestock and avoid triggering the dogs (barking, approaching, etc.). If the dogs approach, it is important to let them do so and not try to force your way through. When approaching the herd: - Give the herd a wide berth, without putting yourself in danger. - Walk slowly and dismount from your bicycle. - Stay together as a group. Speak clearly, without shouting, to make your presence known. If you encounter the herd: - Stop: the dogs will come to sniff you to identify you. - Do not force your way through. - Do not run away or turn your back on the dogs. - Do not stare them in the eyes. - Do not pet the dogs. - Do not feed the dogs. - You can hold an object (bag, bicycle, jacket) to put some space between you and the dogs. However, do not use this object to push the dogs away. - Avoid sudden movements and do not threaten them. Once the dogs calm down or move away, continue on your way, walking and keeping your distance. Pet dogs and hunting dogs: For your safety and theirs, pet dogs and hunting dogs are strongly discouraged near flocks. In any case, always keep your dog on a lead. In the event of a conflict, - let go of the lead, - do not intervene - do not pick up your dog.
