ラロシュシュルフォロンの峠・トップ15

Contrary to the previous comment, I don't think that the Col du Rasoir is made for experienced "mountaineers"... I do however believe that certain passages are perhaps the most exposed of the hike up to Jallouvre! The crest, very tapered, sometimes does not allow for error. However, this path is very busy and the path is well marked. The ascent and descent pose no more problem than that in dry weather.

A majestic summit resembling a pyramid from the Cenise side, the Jallouvre - or Jalouvre - is a mythical summit whose ascent, although not difficult compared to its neighbor Pointe Blanche overhanging it by 30m, remains in the memory like that of a almost epic adventure between grueling scree (on both sides), the mythical Col du Razoir (the aptly named) and the Passage de la Cravate which, in the end, poses no more problem than that when the residual snowfields have disappeared, unless that we are subject to vertigo. In summary, one of the most beautiful hikes in the area in my opinion, for which you still need to be sure-footed and in good shape, but which can be tamed quite easily. Do not miss !

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

The gravel section is easy to do with a racing bike

The Col de la Forclaz allows you to go to the refuge and the Lac de Lessy but also to the chalet de Mayse as well as the Rocher de Salin leading to the Paradis car park.

Le Col des Glières is a picturesque mountain pass located in the French Alps. Nestled at an elevation of 1,450 meters, it is renowned for its natural beauty and historical significance. The col gained prominence during World War II as a key location for the French Resistance, serving as a clandestine base and supply route. Today, visitors can explore the tranquil surroundings, hike through pristine alpine landscapes, and discover the memorial sites that pay homage to the brave individuals who fought for freedom in this mountainous sanctuary.

Nice pass to discover but the view is not incredible. I recommend continuing the hike to the big castle (the mountain right next to it). It's a bit uphill but from the top the view is much better
