As the weather cleared up this week I took advantage of the sunshine and went hiking to Lac Blanc, Lac Noir and Lac Cornu. You can reach all of these spots from the Flegere cable car and the walks are well worth the effort with stunning views all along the routes.

You can find out more on our hiking routes page.
