Departure from Châtel (Haute-Savoie)
For lovers of breathtaking scenery, this is an outing not to be missed. The 360° panorama is worth the detour: Lake Geneva, Dents du Midi, Mont Blanc, etc. The first part, up to Portes de Culet, is not difficult. The second part, up to the summit, is more physically demanding.
