An easy hike from the heights of Montriond along a forest trail to the hamlet of Guéritolles, from where you can enjoy superb panoramic views over the villages of Montriond, Morzine and Essert-Romand.
Along the way, you'll see traditional granaries and alpine chalets, and enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding villages and peaks.
1/ Start the path above the Granges parking lot (located at the street "sous les buissons").
2/ Climb up to the edge of the forest, then turn right to go up into the forest, at the "Plan du Tronc" sign.
3/ After a few hairpin bends, the path levels out and you'll see Les Guéritolles. Remember to close the cow pens after you've gone through.
4/ Cross Les Guéritolles. After a while, we come to a path that twists and turns downhill. We don't take it, but continue straight ahead. We pass the barrier and then start our descent on the right, on a forest path. We continue downhill until we reach the hamlet of Le Pas.
5/ Follow the road downhill for a while. You'll pass through the hamlet of Le Crêt. Then take the road that rises to the right at the "Route des Granges du Bas" sign.
