Easy family walk: 2 hours and 30 minutes in total, 300 m of vertical drop.
Curian departure to La Thuile. At 3 km, just after the hamlet of Montoux, follow the small road to Necuidet, it’s much prettier. Do not drive up to Necuidet, but turn left towards the village of La Thuile: notice the perspective on the “Plateau de la Leysse” with the Margériaz and the Peney on the horizon. Park in front of the party hall overlooking the lake.
