プーギーの峠・トップ4

If you want to go to Mount Sion from Geneva to go to the Salève, I advise you to go through the Col de la Croix de Biche. It allows you to avoid the Annecy D1201 road, where traffic is dense and fast. Here, the road is much more peaceful.

From there, you can enjoy a clear view of the French side, particularly of Mont Salève. Le Salève is a very famous mountain where mountaineering was born. There are several high points at 1200m and the climb on foot would take around 1.5 hours from the village below.

A captivating view of the meadows and the Jura range shared by France and Switzerland. Usually you can see the snow caps (especially during the colder seasons). The Jura is made up of old mountains, older than the Alps and there are many trails for walking and cycling there.

The road is quite calm, the climb from Confort is quite steep with passages at 10%.

Small pass on a road with little traffic at an altitude of 800m.

The Col du Sac connects Farges and Mentières over the ridge of the Jura. The last 100 meters of altitude lead over coarse gravel. The Col du Sac connects Farges and Mentières over the ridge of the Jura. The last 100 meters of altitude difference lead over coarse gravel.

Relatively flat ascent from Mijoux/Lelex on narrow, quiet, but well-paved roads with magnificent views of the Valserine valley. Steeper and curvy to/from Confort/Bellegarde.
