Le Grammont Like from an airplane, you have this largest Central European lake deep below you, with the French-Swiss border town of St-Gingolph right at its feet. © Michael Waeber, Marianne BauerPhoto: Michael Waeber, Marianne Bauer, Rother Bergverlag
Unexpectedly, the "blue eye" of Lac de Taney (also: Tanay) lies high above the Rhone valley near Lake Geneva, surrounded by rugged rocky mountains. The lake and its surroundings are under nature protection, and even a leisurely walk around the lake promises great impressions. However, a tremendous upgrade is possible with the ascent to the northern summit of Grammont, as the mountain ridge stands 1800 m directly and steeply above Lake Geneva. From here, you have a view as if from an airplane of this largest Central European lake deep below, with the French-Swiss border town of St-Gingolph right at your feet.

The path ascends further in many short switchbacks through the steep cliff face scattered with rocks, crosses the road again, and then reaches it just below the Col de Taney.

As a wide path, it continues over the steep pasture slopes to Col des Crosses. From here, it is just under 200 vertical meters to the summit, but first, it goes rather flat along its western slopes to an alpine building and then up to the ridge.
