Description

Enjoy a hike on the crests where you will admire panoramic views of Mont-Blanc, the Alps and the Lake Geneva basin, Geneva so close, the Hautes-Combes du Jura... Before coming back down to the heart of the resort.

Remember that you are up in the mountains and the weather conditions can change very quickly. Do not venture into unknown areas if your mountain experience does not allow you to do so. If you wish to continue your hike on the ridges in the direction of Colomby de Gex (unmarked), you will enter the territory of the National Nature Reserve of the Haute Chaîne du Jura. You will then have to respect the regulations.

Additional information

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

Leaving the Télécombi finish terrace, go right and then down onto an esplanade under the TDF relay. Descend into a hollow, then climb back up to the left, following the markers. The panorama of the Alps is immediately apparent. The route climbs steadily to a plateau where snow is often scarce because it's blown away. From here, descend to a signpost. Follow the signs for Grand Montrond on your left (if you take the option to go towards Chalet du Crozat, you can avoid the summit and return directly to the resort). A steady climb takes you to the summit of Grand Montrond (don't go near the ledges, which may give way under your feet!).

The descent towards La Faucille takes you back to the Chalet du Crozat and then to a ski slope which you have to cross to reach the forest. Cross over a footbridge and descend to a wider track that leads back to the heart of the resort.
