The section from La Muraz to Cruseille, passing through Le Sappey, and then the climb from Cruseille to La Croisette are really nice. Beautiful road, few cars and gentle slope!

Magnificent panorama of the valley at the foot of the Alps. We hear the cowbells in spring, the breeze is gentle, the shade of a tree welcomes us for a moment to enjoy a short break on the ascent of Salève. This view alone is worth the effort of climbing up there!
