After the effort, your reward at the top of the Col du Feu is a magnificent view of the peaks of the Chablais massif and Lake Geneva.

In addition to the spiritual aspect, there are many benches around this chapel which allow you to eat a frugal (or not) snack.

The Col de l'Encrenaz is 1429m high, which is 120m lower than the Mont Forchat, which can be easily reached from here. The path is steep, but not so steep that you can't walk any more.
