Excellent starting point for a hike. Convenient and free parking, with a magnificent viewpoint right next door offering a superb view of the valley and Lake Geneva. Ideal starting point for hikes towards Pointe de Sangeon and Pointe de Tréchauffé. Arriving early may be preferable during busy periods.

A magnificent loop that allows you to discover three summits in the area: the Quevillet (1,445 m), Mont Baron, and Tête des Trèches. From Pré Richard, the route alternates harmoniously between forest paths, alpine pastures, and pleasant ridge sections. After the Quevillet, a discreet viewpoint already offering beautiful views of Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains, the ascent continues towards Mont Baron, before reaching the peaceful Tête des Trèches. Throughout the hike, the panoramas of Lake Geneva, the Mémises, the Dent d'Oche, and the Chablais summits are magnificent. The Tête des Trèches particularly invites contemplation and calm. A varied, accessible, and landscape-rich hike, which I recommend to all mountain lovers. For me, this outing will also remain the memory of a moment of gratitude for the beauty of creation and a beautiful day spent discovering three new summits.

The ascent is steady and without major difficulty, while the panoramas of Lake Geneva, the Mémises, the Dent d'Oche, and the peaks of the Chablais accompany the hike throughout the course.

Very beautiful beech forest The hiking trail along the forest is very good to ride. There are orchids at the swamp ponds! Please observe the rules of nature conservation.

Loop made from the Trechauffe viewpoint, the Pointe de Trechauffe, the Poissât cow farm, the chalets... via the closed section because it is slippery... but passable for expert hikers equipped... beautiful walk.

In Chablais, Mount Ouzon is the last peak in the Aulps Valley before reaching Lake Geneva. Heading south, it offers a beautiful view of Mont Blanc. No need to climb to the summit to see the roof of Europe, you can stay at the pass.

More than a parking lot, this place offers a breathtaking view of the Dranse Valley and Lake Geneva. You can walk to the nearby Tréchauffé goat farm to taste their cheeses.
