시케르트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 산 정상

아쿠아 브란체

Comfortable bench with a great view of the mountains.

It is a beautiful walk with an incline to the summit, which is worth it just for the view all the way to the Alps - if the weather plays along!

A quiet road up to Geishouse, then a cycle and footpath with fine asphalt and plenty of shade until about 1 kilometer before the Col du Grand Ballon. Praise for the planning and development of this greenway! This is what cycling tourism is all about. A few shorter sections, especially toward the end, have double-digit gradients of up to about 15%. https://www.quaeldich.de/paesse/grand-ballon/

The climb via Geishouse to the Grand Ballon has been newly paved since summer 2023, making it a truly beautiful alternative to the routes where you have to share the road with motorcycles and sports cars. It's also highly recommended for scenic reasons and, as it's mostly through the forest, is relatively bearable in summer.

Recommended! The asphalt after Geishouse has recently been completely renewed and is completely car-free from there to Ferme du Haag. However, they have closed the road with a barrier that you cannot go around but only under. So you have to get off and click in again at 8%. Not very convenient and completely dangerous if you descend via that side. Hopefully they will adjust this. The climb is easy to do at the beginning with a very steep section of 10%. After Geishouse on the renewed asphalt it becomes more difficult with a few kilometers around 9%. You get a chance to catch your breath for a while and then finish with sections of 11-12% to Ferme du Haag. The last 2 km to the top of the Grand Ballon are a bit easier again but all in all it makes for a pretty tough climb.

The road from Geishouse is now a greenway reserved for bicycles! Watch out for the barrier at the bottom of Geishouse, especially on the way down!

Great summit with many views. Can be hiked well from Saint-Maurice.
