This long ridgeline has panoramic views toward the Mont-Blanc Massif, the Chaîne des Fiz, and the Arve valley. The route is exposed, but there’s always a clear path to follow.

Bonus KMs and Bailouts

The bonus kilometers offer big rewards, so try to include them if you have time!
Note that not every run has a bailout. But if a run does, we’ve included the download below.
