Lac Retaud
A small high-mountain lake beside the Col du Pillon, reflecting the glaciers and the Diablerets peak. The chalet restaurant on its shore is a classic rest stop.
Lac Retaud lies at about 1,685 m, at the end of a small path west of the Col du Pillon. Though not large, it is ringed by mountains, and on clear days it mirrors Glacier 3000 and the Diablerets peak. The Buvette du Lac Retaud restaurant on the shore serves cheese fondue and desserts. A walk around the lake takes just 15 minutes. You can also walk up from the Col du Pillon in about 30 minutes, or cross the Col des Andérets to reach Arnensee.
