From the tip of Bornée, a view of the Bauges and Lake Saint-André is revealed. In front of you, Mont Granier with its scars, the last buttress of the Hauts de Chartreuse, reminds us that in 1248, an entire section of this mountain collapsed at night. The landslide claimed 5,000 lives, burying houses, barns and land. Blocks of up to 1,000 m3 spread over 20 km2, before stopping at the foot of Myans, where monks and residents believed at the end of the world. These tons of torn rock are now the peculiarity of the wines of Apremont and Abymes, which draw from them their famous taste of flint. Source: notretemps.com/loisirs/le-mont-joigny,i8407

The viewpoint is in the forest, and the view is not clear at all, only the Granier is visible in a small gap between the leaves.
