The Col de Jaman is a mountain pass above Montreux, which you can approach as a dead-end on a road bike. The asphalt ends at the top, and the route further into the L'Hongrin valley is a gravel road. This alternative climb starts in Montreux and cycles through the pretty mountain village of Les Avants.

After a steep climb on both sides, this place, known to cyclists as "Le Col du Mont Pèlerin" at an altitude of 850m (not to be confused with the summit of Mont Pèlerin (1079m), offers a reward to those who have climbed it in the form of a breathtaking view of Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains.

Done this morning on the north slope, climb, by mountain bike. Everything goes very well until Gros Caudon, 1450m. Then you have to push (but the mountain bike can be towed alone!) over a 130m drop. The first half is bad, steep on a gullied path, then ends in grass. It's painful but done pretty quickly. The continuation over the Col de Jaman via Soladier and Les Verraux requires passing large, very muddy landslides. But easy.

It’s a bit of a climb, so it’s a view that has to be earned—but once you reach the top, you’ve got this splendid panorama all to yourself.

The pass offers a beautiful view of the Vanil des Arts. Between the Col de Soladier and the Col de Jaman the path is easy via the Chemin Transversal. From Montreux the last part of the climb is very steep on the other hand.

If you're looking for a picturesque place to take a break from your run, you should try the Dents du Midi viewpoint at the Temple de Saint-Vincent in Montreux. There you will discover a breathtaking view of the Dents du Midi, a mountain range whose seven peaks resemble teeth. The viewpoint is behind the Temple of Saint-Vincent, a historic church dating from the 12th century, from where you can admire the panorama of the lake and the mountains.
