The shortest route up to Le Bettex from Megève or Combloux. The least difficult? Not sure because it climbs all the time. Once you get past the start, which isn't very steep, you're always climbing 8-9％ and there's no respite (and the last 100 metres to reach the main road are the worst...). However, I wouldn't recommend taking it downhill as the surface isn't great.... read more

Voie la plus courte pour monter au Bettex quand on arrive de Megève ou Combloux. La moins difficile? Pas sûr car cela grimpe tout le temps. Passé le début qui est peu raide on est tout le temps dans du 8-9％ il b’y a aucun répit (et les 100 derniers mètres pour rejoindre la grande route sont les pires…)
Je déconseille néanmoins de la prendre à la descente car le revêtement n’est pas top.
