Hiking to Mont Ouzon

  • Pedestrian sports

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.
From 01/05 to 31/10/2024.
Accessible outside the snow season and subject to weather conditions. Check with the Tourist Office beforehand for current access conditions. Recommended season: spring - summer - autumn.
- Choose your route according to your physical condition and the weather conditions.
- Follow the instructions for signposting.
- Don't set off too late in the afternoon, to make sure you're back before dark.
- Take sufficient food and water with you. Mountain sports require a lot of energy.
