La Faucille - Colomby de Gex - Mont Rond
Je vous propose de réaliser un parcours en boucle au départ des environs du Col de la Faucille (parking du Pailly) afin d’accéder au Colomby de Gex : à l'aller le tracé évolue sous les Monts Jura et au retour sur ses crêtes avec une succession de montées et descentes.
Certaines parties du parcours sont situées en zones de quiétude de la faune sauvage et il ne sera ainsi pas possible de le parcourir du 15/12 au 15/05 (à lire ci dessous)
Le Colomby de Gex via the Pas de l'Échine
A challenging approach to a summit offering a 360° view of Lake Geneva, the Alps and the Jura.
The Pas de L'Échine, a tricky and steep but very popular passage, provides direct access to the ridge in a beautiful setting.
The best time to visit is in May, when it is still partially snow-covered and you have to squeeze between the snow and the rock face. However, it is strongly advised not to venture onto the nearby slopes, which are very exposed.
