Breathtaking view at the top of the Somnoz pass.
Watch out for the weather, I experienced clouds and fog at the pass while the weather was fine in Annecy.

Highlight • Summit

Alas sign absent during my visit. Very nice shaded climb from Annecy as you cross state forests. Only the last two kilometers are in full sun.
