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...

Lots of people but nice place

This lowland lake lies quietly in the middle of a protected and peaceful nature. A path goes around it for walkers. The lake is also an idyllic place for fishermen as well as flora and fauna enthusiasts.

Great route for gravel🤩

Beautiful view of Lake Geneva

Fairly difficult start and finish portages. The starting portage can be avoided by taking the road. The descents on Beaumont, Collonges and the Pas de l'Echelle are superb.

Very beautiful ponds, on the other hand the path has just been redone and it seems that the gravels are not all well packed yet: we sink a little in gravel...
