サモエンヌの峠・トップ20

Breathtaking view

As of June 25, crossing from both sides is not possible due to construction work. It doesn't look like this will change anytime soon.

A grassy mountain pass, connected to a few different routes. The views from this pass are excellent, offering a great view of the Dents du Midi. This pass connects several different ski resorts, including the vast Portes du Soleil area, allowing for a multitude of different adventures across this pass.

Intersection point Chalet de Joux Plane Altitude 1691m

Located at an altitude of 1950 meters, the Portes du Soleil pass gave birth to the international Portes du Soleil association. This brings together 12 French and Swiss stations. At the top you can enjoy superb views of the Dents du Midi.

I recommend the climb via "Nancy sur Cluses", a good winding climb with gradients of 13-14%, I saw a few French cycling clubs pass me and take this route :-) With luggage on the racing bike it's a real challenge (for the Route des Grandes Alpes - an insane test start).

On Mont Buet you are directly opposite Mont Blanc and have a good view of it. From the Refuge de la Pierre a Berard it takes about 3 hours to reach the summit

Col de Cou is a mountain pass on the border of France and Switzerland. This beautiful area offers some of the most stunning views over the Dents Blanches massif. There’s a small bivouac at the summit where you can find shelter in case of bad weather.
