Difficult
Departure from Nancy-sur-Cluses (Haute-Savoie)
A lovely hike to reach the Pointe des Arbennes. The magnificent 360° panorama is a wonderful reward: the Fiz, Mont Blanc, the Aravis and the Bargy. A route with no technical sections, but one whose length and elevation gain justify its ‘Difficult’ rating. Watch out for snow near the summits at the start of the season.

Departure from Vailly (Haute-Savoie) (Haute-Savoie)
An isolated peak rising to an altitude of nearly 1,900 metres, Mont Billiat offers a splendid 360° panorama and is a lovely hiking destination. Throughout the ascent, there is an extensive view of Lake Geneva.
The (optional) ascent of the Grande Pointe des Journées is a challenging addition reserved for experienced hikers.
