Easy-going walk: Lakeside path and Randocroquis art path on the banks of the Coisétan
IGN cards
Description
The Lac de Sainte Hélène is a protected natural space with unspoilt banks where you can admire its fauna and flora, the Arclusaz and the Granier. There is also the Randocroquis art path which is accessible to both novice and expert sketchers.
Starting from the parking lot near the lake, take a notebook, pencil, watercolour or gouache and follow the "randocroquis" loop which, with the help of the "randocroqueur", takes you through 9 stations where you can easily create your own drawings on the theme of landscape and perspective (1 hr walk + sketching time).
The walk continues along the shores of the lake to the observatory, where you can admire the view and its flora and fauna, or enjoy a spot of fishing.
