The 19 Most Amazing Peaks around Saint-Jean-D'Aulps

⛰️ Crête des Hauts-Forts A superb hiking section, with a true alpine atmosphere. The progression takes place amidst a very marked relief, between rocks, grassy slopes and airy passages, with several sectors equipped with chains that add a nice dimension to the route. After the heavy rains of the previous days, the ground was particularly slippery and required great caution. Some passages, especially in the steepest sectors, should be approached with care. But what a reward! The panoramas are magnificent and constantly make you want to continue. A sporty, wild and varied hike, which allows you to discover the Hauts-Forts in their most beautiful guise. A route that I recommend to hikers accustomed to alpine terrain and looking for a great mountain adventure.

Mont Billiat, starting from the chalets of La Buchille, is a hike that captivates with its authenticity and the beauty of its panoramas. The route crosses vast alpine pastures where a peaceful atmosphere reigns, before gradually gaining the slopes of the summit. Throughout the ascent, the views open up over the Brevon valley, Lake Geneva, and the Chablais mountains, offering a constantly renewed spectacle. Once at Mont Billiat, the 360° panorama is a magnificent reward, with the Mont-Blanc massif, the Swiss Alps, and the surrounding peaks revealing themselves when the weather is clear. I particularly appreciated the tranquility of this hike and the feeling of being far from the hustle and bustle, in a mountain that has remained authentic. It is an accessible but very rewarding climb, ideal for fully enjoying the beauty of the Chablais and discovering a summit that deserves to be highlighted more.

⛰️ Le Roc d'Enfer, a summit worthy of its name… and its reputation Le Roc d'Enfer is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular hikes in Chablais. The route offers a succession of varied landscapes: alpine pastures, panoramic ridges and more alpine passages that require attention without being reserved for mountaineers alone. The final traverse is the highlight of this ascent. The airy passages, sometimes equipped, provide great sensations while offering an exceptional panorama of Mont-Blanc, Dents du Midi, Lake Geneva, Cornettes de Bise and the summits of Chablais. This hike is aimed at experienced hikers, sure-footed and not afraid of heights. In dry weather, it is an unforgettable adventure where every step brings you closer to one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Haute-Savoie. ⭐ An emblematic summit of Chablais, to be done at least once for all mountain lovers.

La Dent d'Oche will undoubtedly remain one of my most beautiful climbs. This mythical summit in the Chablais is earned: the ascent is demanding, the last few meters require concentration and provide a real high-mountain feeling. Reaching the summit is a moment of immense satisfaction. The reward matches the effort: an exceptional panorama of Lake Geneva, the Swiss Alps, Mont Blanc, and the summits of the Chablais. I felt a mixture of pride, serenity, and freedom there. Every step to the cross reminded me that the most beautiful landscapes are earned through perseverance. An unforgettable hike that will remain etched in my memory for a long time.

A very beautiful peak. Its striking shape attracted me from a distance. That's what a mountain should be like. Some climbing required. Great view. The Chablais is a very beautiful mountain range. Visible as far as Mont Blanc.

A superb summit which offers magnificent views of Lake Geneva and the Chablais massif. The climb can seem a little dizzying with the chimney that leads to the Dent d'Oche refuge on one side, and some exposed passages equipped with cables on the other. Be careful in rainy weather, the rock can be very slippery. Nevertheless, the view is worth the climb and some beautiful hiking tours allow day crossings.

At 2,221 meters, the Dent d'Oche is one of the most emblematic mountains of the Chablais massif. From its summit, the panorama over Lake Geneva is gigantic. In the background, the curves of the Jura delimit the horizon. On a clear day, to the east, you can observe Geneva. Heading south, Mont Blanc is also easily recognizable. For bivouac enthusiasts, note that a small square meter of stony flat level the summit.

Breathtaking passages and landscapes! Rope and chain handrails. Light climbing passages. Very dizzying. To be done in dry weather (no rain the day before or the day before).
