    Sehr schöne alpine Tour auf einem Bergkamm mit herrlicher Aussicht über den Genfer See und auf die gegenüberliegenden Alpengipfel (bei guter Sicht). Wir haben den steilen Aufstieg zum Kamm bei km 5,9 umgangen, indem wir eine Schleife am Hang zum südlichsten Punkt der Route gewählt haben. Damit wurde die Tour ca. 1 km länger, aber dafür nicht ganz so beschwerlich. Wir würden auf jeden Fall Wanderstöcke bei der Tour empfehlen, da der Abstieg stellenweise sehr steil und rutschig ist.

    Premier mètre et on voit un chamois, la journée commence bien. Super randonnée, toutefois réservé à des sportifs car la grosse montée mais surtout énorme descente à la fin qui est très compliquée.
