Description
For trail fans, the many mountain chains in the Portes du Soleil area present a real challenge. Experienced athletes will especially appreciate the routes that allow them to climb numerous passes and peaks across the border between Switzerland and France against an exceptional backdrop. The Pointe de Bellevue, which peaks at 2041 meters above sea level, offers a magnificent view of the surrounding mountain ranges and Lake Geneva. A panorama board allows you to admire the most beautiful peaks of the Alps, such as the Chablais massif, the Dents du Midi, Mont Blanc, and many other four-thousand-meter peaks.
