Randonnée - La Para Summit

Lac Retaud - Isenau - Metreile - Arpille - La Para (2'540m)- Col de Seron - Arpille - Chalet d'Isenau - Isenau

A challenging route with an impressive 360 vista at the summit

From Lake Retaud follow the road to Isenau. From Isenau, follow the road for about 200 metres then the footpath to La Crua and keep going to Metreile. From Metreile, climb the steep path to Arpille, then keep going to the summit of La Para. From the summit, the path heads down to Col du Seron, then to Arpille. From here, keep going on the narrow path that crosses below the summit of La Chaux to the Isenau Mountain Chalet, then to La Marnèche snack bar and then back to your starting point in Lake Retaud.

Try some of the local produce at the Isenau Mountain Chalet (cheese, serac, etc).
On your way to La Para, you might be lucky to get a glimpse of some ibex and marmots while you walk.
Stop at the La Marnèche snack bar with its beautiful terrace offering stunning views of the Les Diablerets mountains.
