Stone Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

From this bridge, you have an absolutely incredible view overlooking the Valserine gorges. If you are prone to vertigo, do not go near the edge.

Menthières Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Relatively flat ascent from Mijoux/Lelex on narrow, quiet, but well-paved roads with magnificent views of the Valserine valley. Steeper and curvy to/from Confort/Bellegarde.
