Lac du Môle, 74250 Ville-en-Sallaz

Description

This easy route takes you on a journey of discovery through the heart of Faucigny, with its capital Bonneville, the Môle Lake, and the vineyards of Ayse. The only slight difficulty is the climb up the Côte d’Hyot, which has an elevation gain of 150 m on a steady slope.
The Tour of the Môle is a journey to the heart of Faucigny, a medieval province that long dreamed of expanding into Geneva and eventually became part of the House of Savoy in 1355. If it weren't part of the limestone Pre-Alps, the Môle could be mistaken for a volcano. It has even often been nicknamed the Fujiyama of the Alps. Its conical shape, which majestically dominates the lower Arve valley, makes it a landmark mountain. Surrounded by roads and isolated between the Chablais, Salève, and Aravis ranges, the Môle is naturally suited to cycling tours. Step-by-step available by clicking on the printer icon.
