ノヴィルの峠・トップ20

No photo can reflect the beauty of the place 😍

Yes, from Bretaye or from the car park at the end of the forest road, it is an alpine pasture whose last few hundred metres are steep, ideal for the ibex with which I came face to face last June, in the fog!

Great view - and maybe you'll actually get to see ibexes 😍

Done this morning on the north slope, climb, by mountain bike. Everything goes very well until Gros Caudon, 1450m. Then you have to push (but the mountain bike can be towed alone!) over a 130m drop. The first half is bad, steep on a gullied path, then ends in grass. It's painful but done pretty quickly. The continuation over the Col de Jaman via Soladier and Les Verraux requires passing large, very muddy landslides. But easy.

The pass offers a beautiful view of the Vanil des Arts. Between the Col de Soladier and the Col de Jaman the path is easy via the Chemin Transversal. From Montreux the last part of the climb is very steep on the other hand.

The Col de Soladier is a picturesque pass in the Swiss Alps that offers breathtaking views of Lake Geneva and the surrounding peaks.

The climb to the pass is done gradually on the Swiss side, but can still be strewn with snow at the start of the season. The French side offers beautiful, slightly steep green mountain pastures. A few mountain huts are accessible on the way, which can provide shelter in bad weather.

Very beautiful pass, very frequented by ibexes. From here the climb to the Cornette de Bise is a little steep but without technical difficulty.
