Francie - Jura - Colomby de Gex by Stefan
June 08, 2023 · Community
Sehr schöne alpine Tour auf einem Bergkamm mit herrlicher Aussicht über den Genfer See und auf die gegenüberliegenden Alpengipfel (bei guter Sicht). Wir haben den steilen Aufstieg zum Kamm bei km 5,9 umgangen, indem wir eine Schleife am Hang zum südlichsten Punkt der Route gewählt haben. Damit wurde die Tour ca. 1 km länger, aber dafür nicht ganz so beschwerlich. Wir würden auf jeden Fall Wanderstöcke bei der Tour empfehlen, da der Abstieg stellenweise sehr steil und rutschig ist.
