Breathtaking view at the top of the Somnoz pass.
Watch out for the weather, I experienced clouds and fog at the pass while the weather was fine in Annecy.

Seriously one of the most beautiful mountain tops on a clear day and you can race all the way to the top. The restaurant at the top is also amassing where you can have a cold beer and enjoy the view to the lake.
