A very beautiful peak. Its striking shape attracted me from a distance. That's what a mountain should be like. Some climbing required. Great view. The Chablais is a very beautiful mountain range. Visible as far as Mont Blanc.

Les Avants The village was one of the first ski resorts in Switzerland. In the nineteenth century, the spa town experienced a certain tourist development with the construction of the first hotels by the Dufour family. The construction of the Jaman tunnel in 1905, which provided a rail link with the Pays d'Enhaut, allowed the resort to become a strong tourist destination until the First World War, notably with the collaboration of the architect Louis Villard. Served by one of the first electrified railways, with a steep slope and no rack railways, the village is a popular destination for the English. It is also home to Switzerland's first bobsleigh run (which later became a toboggan run) and an ice rink. It was on this ice, which was actually tennis courts converted into an ice rink below the "Grand Hôtel des Avants", that the first European Ice Hockey Championship was held in 1910. Since 1910, the Les Avants - Sonloup funicular (still in operation, with the two carriages and the historic machines renovated between June 2012 and January 2013) has been operating on the Sonloup site, allowing sledders to climb to the top of the slopes again. The first war, especially the crisis of 1929, halted development and the large hotels gradually closed. Now competing with the many winter sports resorts created after the 1939-45 war, Les Avants was never to experience the tourist attraction it enjoyed at the beginning of the century. Ernest Hemingway had recently lived in the village for a few months in 1922 (at the "Pension de la Forêt" on the outskirts of Chamby) and wrote about his experiences and pleasures of the sled race there in several chapters of "A Farewell to Arms". In the second half of the century, the village developed into a residential area and experienced a tourist activity such as hiking and some winter activities in the low mountain range (sledding, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ski touring).

Les Avants The charming village of Les Avants is located at an altitude of about 1000 meters and is part of the municipality of Montreux. It is at the gateway to the Pays d'Enhaut and the Vaud Prealps. The village was one of the first ski resorts in Switzerland and was home to the first Swiss bobsleigh run. 10 km from Lake Geneva, nestled under the Dent de Jaman and the Rochers de Naye, Les Avants is an ideal place for hiking. Many marked hiking trails, including the Daffodil Trail, attract hikers, especially in May when the hills are covered with the white flowers of daffodils. Also to discover is the flower clock, one of the oldest in Europe, on the Place de la Gare. Text / Source: SIA Les Avants https://www.lesavants.ch/

On September 1st we had great weather on the Morclan and a distant view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The summit of Mont Blanc was a bit in the clouds, but you could see the peaks south of Martigny.

A superb summit which offers magnificent views of Lake Geneva and the Chablais massif. The climb can seem a little dizzying with the chimney that leads to the Dent d'Oche refuge on one side, and some exposed passages equipped with cables on the other. Be careful in rainy weather, the rock can be very slippery. Nevertheless, the view is worth the climb and some beautiful hiking tours allow day crossings.

The Pic de Mémise is an elevation above Thollon-des-Mémises that I/we have climbed repeatedly over the past ten years. In the direction of Lake Geneva, the Mémises form a cliff along which you can hike. The highest peak is 1674 meters high. You can access the hiking trail with a cable car, which is also open in summer until the beginning of September. Sturdy shoes and hiking poles are recommended. The area above the open high plateau is one of the most famous ski areas in the Évian-les-Bains area. Above the Mémises is the Pic Boré at 1974 m. The last 150 m to the summit are very steep. On the back there is a grade, which later goes steeply over a meadow into the valley. Good hiking equipment is essential here. I crossed the Pic Boré 2022.
