ダンジーサンクレアの峠・トップ17

A panoramic view of Lake Annecy, the Tournette mountain, and the alpine pastures. A mountain pass that can mark the summit of a hike, with a refreshment stand just steps away for a lunch break on sunny days.

At an altitude of 1,050 meters, the Col des Contrebandiers is a vast meadow that marks the intersection of several hiking trails. From here, it is possible to reach Mont Baron, Mont Baret, and Veyrier-du-Lac, among others. There is also a parking lot.

Nice photo spot! Up on the bike from the Col de l'Aulp, some technical and exposed passages to get there but nothing too bad. Possibility to continue via Roc Lancrenaz to reach the Dents de Lanfon or to go back down via Combe Noire.

Pass without much interest but the descent from it, rolling, is a treat on a trail!

The gravel section is easy to do with a racing bike
