Lullin: Market, Mills and Walking Destinations

Visitors planning a stay in Lullin can choose from a range of activities: the Thursday market, a mill visit, walks with scenic and historical interest, or a private visit with animals. If you’re looking for a hotel for your stay, it helps to first decide which activities you want to shape your travel dates. The details below distinguish the relevant time slots and highlights.

Market and Mill Visit

Depending on snow conditions, Lullin’s market takes place every Thursday morning from March to December. Goods on offer include cheese, fruit and vegetables, flowers, and fish. Both Thursday morning and snow conditions are key to planning. So if you want to visit the market, plan your stay for a Thursday morning and take snow conditions into account.

Moulin à Casset is an oil mill classified as a “Moulin d’Autrefois”; its sawmill is powered by water. Tours of Moulin à Casset and its sawmill take place during school holidays and in May for European Mill and Millstone Heritage Days. As these dates depend on school holidays and event schedules, check the specific visiting times before you travel.

Walks: Route, Scenery and History

The walk to Mont Forchat from Lullin is listed as a moderately difficult, 4.0 km out-and-back walk taking two hours. These distance and duration details make it possible to plan the route’s scope; the difficulty is rated moderate. The walk offers views of mountain pastures and blueberry patches in the spruce forest. Every summer, a pilgrimage takes place at Mont Forchat to a statue of Saint Francis de Sales. It was erected by residents of Lullin in 1898.

The Les Granges de Lullin route passes through a forest made up mostly of spruce trees, leading to a mountain pasture and beautiful Savoyard hamlets. The route to Chapelle d’Hermone continues through the hamlet of Le Feu to Notre Dame d’Hermone. The trail includes a Stations of the Cross erected by residents of Vailly in 1842. The routes described therefore highlight different scenic and historical features: forest, mountain pasture and hamlets on the Les Granges route, and the Stations of the Cross and chapel at Hermone.

Panser animal: Private Animal Visit

Panser animal offers private visits to an educational farm in Lullin, where visitors can interact with 13 different animal species. A visit lasts one hour and gives you time to spend with your favorite animals. Panser animal is accessible to wheelchair users with assistance. The stated duration makes this visit a clearly defined activity alongside the walks and the market.

Take Activity Dates into Account When Looking for a Hotel

When planning your hotel stay, it’s worth checking the activity schedules: the market depends on Thursday morning and snow conditions, while mill tours depend on school holidays or the Mill Days in May. If one of these experiences is a priority for you, align your travel dates accordingly and check the specific visiting times before booking.
