Pic Chaussy

Moderate hike near les Mosses, Switzerland

Your hike starts at Parking Lioson d’en Bas, from where you follow the road uphill to Lac Lioson, a beautiful lake with crystal-clear water—a perfect place to stop for a break on your way up. From the lake, continue along the steep path to the summit of Pic Chaussy. The final ascent is challenging but not technically difficult, and once you reach the top, you are rewarded with a stunning 360° panoramic view over the Alps.

For the return, follow the same path back for about 800 meters until you reach a small mountain pass, where you turn left toward the mountain pasture Buvette des Petits Lacs. Along this section, you might hear marmots whistling nearby. From there, follow the signs back to Lioson d’en Bas / Les Mosses, which takes around 35 minutes. You can return the same way you came and stop at Restaurant Lac Lioson for a break.
