The Pointe d'Andey offers a commanding view of all the surrounding peaks, the Glières Plateau, the Môle, the Pic du Marcelly, the Bargy mountain range, as well as the entire Arve Valley and its highest point: Mont Blanc. On the other side, on a clear day, there is a beautiful view of the Lake Geneva basin and the Jura mountains in the background.

The military structure built at Col de Crous provided passage between the Tuébi and Péone valley to the south and the Roya (Tinée) valley to the north.The small structure was built between 1932 and 1939 by military labour (MOM), more specifically by a detachment from the27th Algerian Rifle Regiment under the supervision of personnel from the7th Engineer Regiment.The support structures were built underground, dug several metres into the rock, while the combat structures, scattered across the surface in the form of blocks, were protected by thick steel armour plating and layers of reinforced concrete. The underground facilities housed barracks for the crew.High-altitude climatic conditions, a lack of resources and the non-priority nature of the project delayed progress. In June 1940, fighting against the Italians cancelled all work planned for the summer season.

A hike offering magnificent views of the Mont Blanc massif on one side and the Aravis massif on the other.

The Sentier des Muletiers, comprising fifteen numbered bends spread over the 350-metre climb to the summit of the Puy de Dôme, is the ancient path that led pilgrims to the Temple of Mercury. It offers superb panoramic views throughout the ascent, taking in the entire 45 km stretch of the Chaîne des Volcans.
