A 50km loop from Mornex to Cruseilles (15km of flat uphill with a headwind!) A beautiful climb with panoramic views: Mont Blanc on the right, Lake Geneva with its water fountain opposite, before resuming the descent to Mornex. Beware, however, of the narrow stretches of road, road narrowings with waiting chicane and cars braking suddenly.... read more

Une boucle de 50km depuis Mornex vers Cruseilles (15km de faux plat montant avec vent de face!) Une belle montée avec vue panoramique : Mont Blanc à droite, lac Léman avec son jet d'eau en face avant de reprendre la descente vers Mornex. Attention cependant aux portions de route étroites, aux rétrécissements de chaussée avec chicane d'attente et aux voitures qui freinent brusquement.

The start towards Saint-Blaise gets the thighs a bit hot, but the rest of the route is very pleasant, sheltered from the sun in the forest. Beautiful views of Mont Blanc after the Château des Avenières and then of the Leman once you reach the summit. There may be some traffic, however.

Le début vers Saint-Blaise fait un peu chauffer les cuisses mais la suite est très agréable à l’abris du soleil dans forêt. Très belle vue sur le Mont-Blanc après le Château des Avenières puis sur le Leman une fois au sommet. Il peut y avoir de la circulation en revanche.
