One of the most beautiful viewpoints over the Alps that I know! Access from the Col de la Faucille is quite simple.

This boundary stone marked the border between Franche-Comté (north) and French Bugey (south). To the east, the Pays de Gex was separated by the Sardinian Corridor, in which the Spanish Way was located.

A stronghold of resistance and an ancient milestone on the Sardinian road that led to the Netherlands in the 17th century. A very beautiful view of the Jura Mountains, too.

Beautiful views all around, but especially of Lake Geneva. You should have a good camera and various lenses with you. I was at this viewpoint for the first time in October 1976.
