This hike combines the ascent of two iconic peaks, the Tête de l’Écutieux (1,627 m) and the Môle (1,863 m), across peaceful forests, discreet ridges, then panoramic views at the summit of the Môle.
Stage 1 : Tête de l'Écutieux (1,627 m) – a wild warm-up :
The hike starts from the hamlet of Chez Béroud, in the village of Saint-Jean-de-Tholome. A balcony trail gently leads you through woods, clearings, and pastures. The ascent of Tête de l’Écutieux takes place in a peaceful, shaded setting, with beautiful views of the Arve Valley.
Stage 2 : Le Môle (1863m) – the panoramic apotheosis :
From the Tête de l'Écutieux, a ridge trail leads to the slopes of Le Môle. The atmosphere gradually changes : the terrain becomes more open, the climb steeper, the horizons wider, and the view increasingly spectacular.
The final steeper ascent of Le Môle rewards you with an exceptional 360° panorama of the Alpine massifs : Mont Blanc, Aravis, Chablais, Jura... a veritable natural orientation table !
