View from the bridge.

The Rhone is majestic.

Starting from Morez, the climb is steep in parts but easier than the slog from Nyon. The scenery? Stunning all the way, especially crossing from France into Switzerland at La Cure. In March, the top (1232m) was deep in snow and freezing, so be prepared. Then it’s all downhill.. literally, through Saint-Cergue and into a twisty, brake-testing descent to Nyon, where it was warm enough for a T-shirt. One ride, two countries, skipping through seasons.

The dam, which was inaugurated in 1944, is the largest source of electrical energy production in the canton of Geneva.

Perched at an altitude of 1,323 metres, the Col de la Faucille welcomes you with a 360-degree panorama of the Alps and the Valserine Valley. Whether you attack it from the north or the south, the spectacle is not long in coming. Its ascent from the south, on the road to Gex, has the appearance of a great Alpine pass with its many bends and countless views of the Mont-Blanc massif.

This belvedere, near the Col de la Faucille, offers a breathtaking view of the Pays de Gex, the Alps and Lake Geneva. You can admire the foothills of the Jura massif that surround you. You will find a car park, toilets and an orientation table on site.

In front of the restaurant Le refuge du Florimont, you have a sublime view of the Mont-Blanc massif. You can also see Lake Geneva. Between its foreground and background, you can also admire the Aravis, Chablais and the Vaud Alps.

If you do it downhill, you have to be careful on the last part, especially if you are going fast, the bend is a bit treacherous and the surface is degraded.
