Departure from Bernex (Haute-Savoie)
This hike takes you to the Dent d'Oche. From this distinctive peak overlooking Lake Geneva, you can enjoy a magnificent 360° panorama of the Lake Geneva basin, the Jura and the Alps, including the Dents du Midi and the Mont Blanc massif. It's a difficult and exposed route, but the reward is well worth the effort when you reach the top!

Departure from Novel (Haute-Savoie)
La Dent d'Oche is accessible via various routes. This one starts from a place called "La Planche" above Novel. It passes through "les chalets de Neuteu", the Pavis pass, the portes d'Oche, the lac de la case, the planchamp pass, the dent d'Oche and returns via the Rebollion pass, the Neuve pass, the Neuva dessous, the enclos, and finally "la Planche".
This route allowed us to see many ibex in different places and the local flora.

Departure from Bernex (Haute-Savoie)
Much less frequented than its famous neighbour, the Dent d'Oche, and 24 metres lower, the Roc du Château d'Oche offers no less of a majestic panorama, both of Lake Geneva and the Northern Alps. Up to the Chalets d'Oche, the route is the same as that for the Dent d'Oche, and from these chalets, the climb takes place in a wilder setting.

Easy
Departure from Bernex (Haute-Savoie)
Flowing down from the foot of the Dent d'Oche, the Ugine river waters Bernex before joining the Dranse d'Abondance. This short hike largely follows the course of this river, passing through pretty hamlets and taking in two 19th-century chapels and a sacred cave, with the peaks of the Mémises-Oche massif as a backdrop.

Very difficult
Departure from Bernex (Haute-Savoie)
Starting from Bernex, this circular is a great classic. Long with a significant elevation gain, the effort required is pleasantly rewarded by the dazzling panoramic views of the Mont Blanc massif, the Dents du Midi and the Bernese Oberland. Herds of ibex are frequently encountered near the Col de Pavis.

Very difficult
Departure from Bernex (Haute-Savoie)
After a climb through the forest to wake up our muscles, we leave the mountain pastures of the Bas-Chablais Pre-Alps behind us. The route runs alongside several lakes and offers panoramic views stretching from the Jura mountains to the Mont Blanc massif before plunging down below the Cornettes de Bise.
