    After an ascension through mountain pastures, its 360° panoramic view over France and Switzerland will reward your efforts. You may also have the privilege of witnessing - with all necessary safety precautions - the acrobatic movements of the Chamois goats on the cliffs or the dizzying dance of wallcreepers along the rock walls.

    Tips and suggestions

    Be careful on the edge of the ridge during foggy weather.

    This trail passes through pastures with livestock and forest paths. To respect the owners and farmers granting you passage, and for the security of livestock and wild fauna, we ask that you remain on the waymarked paths. Use the adapted passageways to get across fencing and be sure to close gateways behind you. Please keep your dog on a lead if you have one.

    Wild flowers are beautiful, they may be rare and protected and often wilt quickly. Do not pick them! They will delight the next hikers.

    In case of forest works (felling, skidding, etc.), for your safety, know when to stop and turn around.

    Lastly, after a few meters in France, this trail is mainly located on Swiss territory; be sure to take your ID with you.

    Roadbook

    From LES DAPPES, the itinerary heads towards a small combe to the left and crosses a low stone wall: this is the Swiss border! A grassy path (yellow diamond waymarking) heads up to the right towards a ski lift before crossing a road at Couvaloup de Crans.

    The stony path heads up to the right bordering a forest and opens onto a flat area with an open landscape overlooked by the Dôle pasture.

    Take the trail to the left that heads downwards for a short stretch. Cross over a low stone wall and head up the pasture towards the Poêle Chaud Chalet (ski lift). Head up to the Col de Porte mountain pass taking a stony path (viewpoint).

    To the right, the trail climbs up to the summit ridge (take care, follow the waymarked path attentively) to reach LA DOLE.

    The trail descends to the south through the pasture, circumventing the abrupt slope of the ridge. After a few steep and rocky slopes, the trail reaches the dip in the cirque (drinking trough) before heading north towards la Dôle chalet.

    Head left up an increasingly steep slope to reach the Porte pass.

    Return to LES DAPPES the way you came.
