Hiking: the Pointe du Mont

Enjoy a lovely hike through the woods starting from the Col du Corbier! You’ll love the peace and quiet and the unspoilt nature of the area, as well as the lovely views of the Mont du Chablais.

The Pointe du Mont loop is a beautiful hike that requires a fair bit of effort. Indeed, some sections are quite steep. However, the peace and quiet and the chance to connect with nature that this hike offers make it well worth the effort. On a clear day, you can even catch a glimpse of Mont Blanc from the final ascent of the Pointe du Mont.

1/ Follow the forest track behind the hill reservoir. The climb is sometimes gentle, sometimes steep.

2/ Follow the path that continues from the forest track.

3/ You will come to a wider path; turn right and continue uphill.

4/ At Col de Drôline, take the path behind the sign, which climbs through the trees. Follow the markings carefully (yellow arrows on a green background).

5/ The climb is steep; on a clear day, you can see Mont Blanc. When you reach the flat section, turn right.

6/ You have now reached the Pointe du Mont. The descent follows the same path through the forest.

7/ At the end of the forest path, turn left and head downhill towards the Col du Corbier.

8/ At Les Praux, continue along the forest track which winds down to the right towards the Col du Corbier.
