Walk No. 6 - La Bourgeoise
Description
Short hike accessible to all, joining the Bourgeoise from the Col de Joux Plane. This summit, located at 1770 meters of altitude, constitutes a superb viewpoint on the Mont Blanc and the summit of the Giffre massif surrounding.
Starting from the Col de Joux Plane and its lake, overlooking Samoëns to the south and Morzine to the north, this walk without difficulty starts in beautiful alpine landscapes until the Chalets of Mapellet.
Passing under the Pointe de Chamossière, the route offers many panoramas on the Giffre massif: The North Face of the Criou, the Pointe Rousse or the Tête de Bostant. The Mapellet Cross marks your arrival at the top, you will then be gratified from a breathtaking 360° perspective.
The view of the Mont Blanc from the Bourgeois is breathtaking. Also discover the surrounding peaks thanks to the orientation table on site.
