Les Cycl’O Gourmandes : My first local and easy ride

(1) Departure from "Xtrême Glisses" in Samoëns village. Take the Lac aux Dames road, go along the lake (2) and follow the signs to the Lac Bleu (3). From the Lac Bleu, turn right over the Giffre bridge towards Taninges on the right bank of the Giffre. Follow the Giffre and the "Les hameaux du Giffre" residential park. Follow the path for a few minutes through the forest, then go straight ahead at the intersection (do not follow the footpath and mountain bike path on the left). You will arrive at the entrance to "Les hameaux du Giffre" entrance. Continue as far as the bakery and turn left into rue de l'Epure. A few metres later, you'll arrive at "L'Artisan du Chocolat". (4) Stop at "L'Artisan du chocolat" to choose some products for tasting. (3) Return to Lac Bleu by the same road and stop on a bench, on the lawn or on the sandy beach to taste the products while admiring the view of the Criou, one of the emblematic peaks of the valley. It is possible to enjoy the playground for the little ones next door. (2) Return to the Lac aux Dames by the same track and then to "Xtrême Glisses" (1)
