A nice descent from Lajoux to Mijoux. The hairpin bends are quite wide and there is good visibility on the downhill part.

Giron

Highlight • Settlement

Nestled in pastures at an altitude of 1,000 meters, Giron is the highest (and sunniest!) village in the Ain. Welcoming, with breathtaking views, it is ideal for an overnight stop.

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.
