"A long day (almost 16 hours) doing one of the finest ridge traverses the Swiss Préalpes has to offer. Great climbing on lime stone, never too challenging and relatively straightforward route finding. " — danishclimber • Jun 28, 2023
"Single day solo hike. Started from top of the Jorasse chairlift, hiked to Cabane Rambert, then up the semi-marked scramble to the top of Grand Muveran. The goat’s path is gnarly in places and route finding tricky as you weave around snowfields. I was happy to have my ice axe as some snow travel was unavoidable. I did not need boots or crampons. At the top you are rewarded with an awesome view of Valais, Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva. Got back to chairlift with only 10 minutes to spare." — danishclimber • Jun 27, 2023
"Walked from lake geneva upto tete du paccot. Following trails through the villages. Was a lovely walk upto le cou cou on pretty much road or paved tracks. From here the tracks took a rougher more unstable footing and severely steeper. Almost reaching the summit the weather turned and the clouds came rolling in. Being on my own and under prepared for bad weather I turned around at around 1,400 metres.
Very enjoyable day out with glorious views. " — thc4ms • Sep 7, 2019
"Rest day at Swiss Orienteering Week at Gtaad. Weather was forecast to be not good. I took advantage of special offer to go by train to Rochers-de-Naye. The rain eased when I got there so I ascended to the summit of Rochers de Naye. It was very windy and I could hardly stand on the summit." — peter43 • Aug 7, 2019
"A lovely sunny day for this short climb: easy short scrambling sections (some fixed wires/chains and a ladder) and a fantastic view as far as Mont Blanc, the Grand Combin and the Matterhorn." — marcuscrompton • Aug 11, 2012
