The Vuargne Cross (Pic des Mémises Summit Cross)

Beautiful summit with summit cross.
The descent towards the south is steep and karst.

The Pic de Mémise is an elevation above Thollon-des-Mémises that I/we have climbed repeatedly over the past ten years. In the direction of Lake Geneva, the Mémises form a cliff along which you can hike. The highest peak is 1674 meters high. You can access the hiking trail with a cable car, which is also open in summer until the beginning of September. Sturdy shoes and hiking poles are recommended. The area above the open high plateau is one of the most famous ski areas in the Évian-les-Bains area. Above the Mémises is the Pic Boré at 1974 m. The last 150 m to the summit are very steep. On the back there is a grade, which later goes steeply over a meadow into the valley. Good hiking equipment is essential here. I crossed the Pic Boré 2022.

The highest point of the Mémises mountain range with a magnificent view on a clear day.
There is an orientation sign and a large summit cross - as well as information on the installation of the cross that replaced the old one from the 1950s in 2013.
