Itinerary details
Description
This is an excellent hike for walkers seeking spectacular views without major technical difficulties.
From the top of the Nyon cable car or from the Col de Joux Plane (depending on your starting point), the trail climbs gradually between alpine meadows and ridges, until it reaches an open ridge with a breathtaking view of Morzine, Mont Blanc, the Dents Blanches and Lac de Montriond.
The hike is fairly short but steady, with a few safe aerial passages. Ideal for a morning outing or a family hike with motivated teenagers.
⏱️ Duration: approx. 2h30 to 3h round trip
📏 Elevation gain: approx. 400 to 500 m depending on starting point
📍 Start: Col de Joux Plane or top of Nyon cable car
🥾 Level: intermediate / accessible to good walkers
🎒 Bonus: possibility of descending via the ridge or joining other itineraries
A fast, spectacular summit, perfect as an introduction to high-altitude hiking in the Chablais Alps.
