Via Alpina
From the summit of Rochers de Naye, the route traces the southwestern ridge dropping toward Lake Geneva before threading a narrow passage between two rock faces at Sautodoz, then winds through forested slopes past the peaks of Les Dentaux to reach Haut-de-Caux. The final stretch delivers an unexpected landmark: the Caux Palace, a grand hotel built in 1902 that defined the Belle Époque character of the area.

Tour Tête de la Minaude
A north-facing loop around the Tête de la Minaude, the trail follows the Gérine stream as it tumbles down the slope, with the rocky summits of the Gummfluh, Brecaca, and Biolet rising directly across the valley. The north-facing terrain holds snow well into May, and the route passes through intact, wild country on a vehicle track closed to traffic.
