You will then take the Case d'Oche pass and its panorama of Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva before crossing the Darbon mountain pastures to reach the second lake of your walk: Lake Darbon, situated at an altitude of over 1800 m.
A final effort awaits you up to the Combe de Darbon and the pass of Portes d'Oche before starting your descent to the Lac de la Case.
