Discover one of the 7 Wonders of Les Diablerets on this family hike: Retaud Lake.
Starting from Retaud Lake (take the Diablobus during the Free Access Card period), follow the footpath down through the vast meadows to Col du Pillon. Cross the road to join the Le Dar trail. This pretty route takes you through forests and pastures along the winding river to Les Diablerets.
