Napoleon Fountain

Highlight • Other

You shouldn't miss it because it's right in the hairpin bend and traffic can be heavy. Located at an altitude of 1,047 metres as you descend from the Col de la Faucille, the fountain is drinkable, unlike those in many villages you come across in the area; it can be useful.

Col de la Faucille (1323 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Perched at an altitude of 1,323 metres, the Col de la Faucille welcomes you with a 360-degree panorama of the Alps and the Valserine Valley.
Whether you attack it from the north or the south, the spectacle is not long in coming. Its ascent from the south, on the road to Gex, has the appearance of a great Alpine pass with its many bends and countless views of the Mont-Blanc massif.

In front of the restaurant Le refuge du Florimont, you have a sublime view of the Mont-Blanc massif. You can also see Lake Geneva. Between its foreground and background, you can also admire the Aravis, Chablais and the Vaud Alps.
