Intersection Point: La Gouille aux Morts (Pond of the Dead) Altitude 650m Gouille aux Morts: What an ugly name for this charming little pond. Beavers, mallards, herons, and especially frogs take shelter in its tall grass and breed there. The place is calm and peaceful, far from the road to the Vallée Verte (Green Valley), although you can still hear the sounds of traffic. Above it, the Molière à Vachat stream is mirrored in its waters. Its reflection blends with the water lilies scattered there, creating perfect harmony. A delight for the eye of the walker. It's impossible not to think of Monet's "Water Lilies." It is said that, long ago, two stonemasons working at the "Molière," located about fifty meters above, fell to their deaths there on a Sunday (yes, a Sunday...the Lord's Day). See: H. Savoie: Les Molières du Mont Vouan. Or perhaps the pond got its name because a peasant was swallowed up there with his cart...

Bridge in Bonneville.

👍

The bridge is an element of the birth of the city, built from 1225. It was initially made of wood resting on the islands of the Arve to connect the two banks. In 1661, the Regent Marie-Jeanne-Baptiste of Savoy-Nemours had a stone bridge with five arches built. Between 1862 and 1866, it was replaced by the current bridge, built by the engineers Deglin and Vivenot. It was named "Pont de l'Europe" when Valérie Giscard d'Estaing passed through Bonneville in 1989, during the campaign for the European elections. Downstream, it was doubled in 2010 by a second asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge whose elegant silhouette is already part of Bonneville's architectural heritage.

The tour certainly includes portions of pushing, particularly when it comes to reaching the Ecutieux chalets, but the landscapes are magnificent (view of Lake Geneva, wild mountain pastures) Once you arrive at the summit it is almost 8km descent, technical and varied to go back down to Bonneville

Nice pass on a “ridge” path (even if you don’t really realize it). Bel AR to the Môle (and the head of the ecutieux) for the brave

Nice place to take a break but not worth a hike on its own. Nice view of the Rocafort castle less than 10 minutes away on foot. This stone is also located about thirty minutes from the Penaz waterfall which is worth the detour.

Incredible nature, the river has carved out a passage
