Queysets lake is a hill reservoir located at about 1,650 meters altitude, offering breathtaking views of Mont de Grange. This lake is accessible via an easy hike, ideal for families or those looking for a gentle mountain stroll.<\/p>\n

To get there, from the center of Ch\u00e2tel, head towards Linga-Villapeyron, then continue to Pr\u00e9-la-Joux and Plaine Dranse. At the Pr\u00e9-la-Joux parking lot, you can either drive on to Plaine Dranse or take the Pierre-Longue chairlift. At Plaine Dranse, take the first wide path on the left before the chalets, known as the “Chemin des Queysets.” This trail will gently lead you to the top of the Queysets ski lift. Then descend the grassy slope to the foot of the Combes, and the path climbs slightly again until you reach the lake. The hike takes about 45 minutes round-trip, with a 50-meter elevation gain, and is rated easy.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
