 Sat 11 Nov 2023  Mont Sâla & Fondue

A (long) walk in the Jura from La Cure across Mont Sâla (1511m) and ending in Saint-Cergue. There are no difficulties on this hike but you need to be able to walk 20 kilometers (~7 hours including breaks). On a clear day, the hike offers outstanding views across the entire alpine range.

A challenging hike to the highest and very prominent peak in the Aravis massif, the Pointe Percée (2750m). We will attempt the traverse by ascending via the Cheminées de Sallanches and use the normal route for the descent. The hike offers outstanding views over the Mont Blanc range.
