A water point, shade and a very quiet hamlet. A good landmark for local hikes and mountain bike rides around Vieugy and Quintal

A long climb from Saint-Jorioz to the summit of the Montée du Semnoz. But definitely worth it. There's a mountain hut at the top.

Col du Semnoz summit

Highlight • Summit

Alas sign absent during my visit. Very nice shaded climb from Annecy as you cross state forests. Only the last two kilometers are in full sun.

Breathtaking view at the top of the Somnoz pass.
Watch out for the weather, I experienced clouds and fog at the pass while the weather was fine in Annecy.
