Pass without too much traffic. Quite steep start to reach Saint Sulpice, the rest is rather regular.

Definitely relax a bit on this section. Further down towards the lake, the trails become much rougher.

A short detour from Col St. Michel will take you to this fantastic viewpoint, with stunning views over the lake and far to the west, weather permitting.

Saint-Michel Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

On the pass, there was, among other things, a chapel, a source and a kind of altar with a cross, the latter being still more or less intact on the way.
