The climb via Geishouse to the Grand Ballon has been newly paved since summer 2023, making it a truly beautiful alternative to the routes where you have to share the road with motorcycles and sports cars. It's also highly recommended for scenic reasons and, as it's mostly through the forest, is relatively bearable in summer.

The road from Geishouse is now a greenway reserved for bicycles! Watch out for the barrier at the bottom of Geishouse, especially on the way down!
