The Moucherotte Summit

Highlight • Summit

Hello Komootians! I am pleased to inform you that a year ago my friend (Paulo) and myself (Marco) repaired the bench at the top of Moucherotte (under the orientation table, east side). And we signed our work. We invite you to go and check on the spot while taking full advantage of the beautiful and vast panorama that you have when you sit on this bench... A+
PS: we suggest that you climb Moucherotte by its eastern side, stopping at the Vallier cave on the way.
