Hiking to Mont Ouzon
- Level orange - quite hard
Presentation
An out-and-back hike to the summit of Mont Ouzon, from where you'll enjoy a magnificent 360° panorama of Lake Geneva to the north, the Mont-Blanc chain and the Swiss Alps to the south, and the Dent d'Oche and Cornettes de Bises to the east.
The hike begins with a forest path, then crosses the alpine pasture past the Chalets d'Ouzon to the Col Plan Champ, then a path climbs gradually until you reach the chain-linked chimney that leads to the summit just above.
Made up of large boulders, the summit is quite aerial without being vertiginous.
