Each of these crosses, which the traveler often encounters in the fields or, as here, on the mountaintops—in this case combined with a beautiful view of the lake and the opposite shore—is a sign commemorating the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. “Here on earth, His memory exists, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. Remembrance is our comfort, we who are still wanderers, traveling toward our homeland.” (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, c. 1090–1153)

The small sacred monument we encounter here is a universal symbol of the death of Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became man and was executed on the cross – but at the same time, it is also a sign of the overcoming of death in the resurrection. Thus, all crosses point us to the Easter perspective of hope – always inherent in Christianity – which, through faith in God, firmly trusts in the ability to overcome death and suffering. + "We Christians associate our hopes with the graces of heaven in particular. This gives our hope a concrete connection and grows from faith in God's goodness and love. And we know whom we can thank when our hopes are fulfilled, and whom we can entrust when our hopes are not. I believe this certainty is a grace in itself that we are allowed to experience." (Christiane Völkel)

The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, journeying toward the Fatherland." (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, c. 1090–1153)

Great spot for a coffee and a cold drink before tackling Col du Bonhomme or Lacs Jovet. It’s cash only!!

Annecy, and more specifically its old town, boasts a fantastic setting. The well-landscaped lakeside makes it easy to explore in complete peace and quiet.

The snack bar at Col de Voza has a lovely terrace in the summer. Delicious ice cream, a BBQ, and even live music. A very relaxed atmosphere.
