Lac de Damoz des Moulins
A loop trail straddling the border of the Vallée d'Aulps and the Vallée d'Abondance, it threads through green alpine pastures and past old chalets before arriving at the small Lac de Damoz des Moulins, cradled at the foot of the Pic de la Corne. From the Brion mountain pasture, the route opens onto a sweeping view of Mont Blanc and the Roc d'Enfer.
-
Montée au Roc de Tavaneuse
A sporting ascent to the 2156 m summit of the Roc de Tavaneuse, which commands a view of Mont Blanc. The descent brings you past the Lac de Tavaneuse, described as the most beautiful lake in the Chablais.
-
Au pied du Roc d'Enfer
This loop through the Essert-Romand countryside passes the 1859 Graydon chapel — dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, its porch stones salvaged from Aulps Abbey — before climbing through alpine meadows toward the Col Ratti, a sun-scorched, shadeless pass whose name derives from the French word for "roast." The route unfolds beneath the looming mass of the Roc d'Enfer itself, with views stretching to the Aravis peaks and Mont-Blanc.
-
Tour du Mont Brion
A circuit above Saint-Jean-d'Aulps that crosses two passes through verdant alpine pastures dotted with old shepherd's chalets, with views north to the Cornettes de Bise and south to the Roc d'Enfer — and a small lake, the Lac de Damoz des Moulins, nestled at the foot of the Pic de la Corne.
