モンサクソンネックスのおすすめツーリングルート

Very beautiful lake overlooked by the Bargy mountain range!

This bridge was the only one to allow the crossing of the Arve until the construction of the Pont Neuf in 1850. The first Pont Vieux was built at the time of the Romans and then rebuilt in the Middle Ages. The current bridge was built in 1674 and restored in 1833. An inscription engraved in the stone mentions the name of the architect

going around the lake we can climb a small path which takes us to the opposite side of the lake and make a loop.

The highest point of the Aravis chain is the Pointe Percée at 2,753 m. The Col des Aravis pass separates the chain at its lowest point at 1,486 m.

The beautiful mountain village has about 2000 inhabitants and is located at an altitude of about 1300m.

Historic bridge

This is a good place to make a short stop on the way to Mont Saxonnex. However, we were there in September and the only restaurant in the village was closed.

The col de Cenise sits on a small, 1,700-metre (5,578 ft) exposed plateau, with rugged, higher peaks on both sides of the track. The wind and weather can howl through here, so come prepared!
