Col du Semnoz summit

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.

Chalet de Bénévent

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Bénévent chalet marks the intersection to go to the summit of Semnoz. It's a nice setting for a little break.

View of Lake Annecy from Semnoz

Highlight • Viewpoint

Super fun descent!! Really long and the road is really swoopy and fun. Completely worth the climb up. Plus view of Annecy lake in a lay-by!

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.
