The Tour du Môle is a journey to the heart of Faucigny, a medieval province that long dreamed of extending to Geneva and which ended up joining the House of Savoy in 1355. If it did not belong to the limestone Prealps, the Môle could be mistaken for a volcano. It has even often been nicknamed the Fujiyama of the Alps. Its conical shape, which majestically dominates the lower Arve valley, makes it a signal mountain. Surrounded by roads and isolated between Chablais, Salève and Aravis, the Môle is naturally suited to a cycle touring circuit.
Whatever your starting point, you will carefully pass through the center of Bonneville, and travel 2km on the national road 205 before going up to Faucigny via the Côte d'Hyot (D12). After Marcellaz and before the Tower, do not deprive yourself of a break at the edge of the Môle lake, shaded and equipped with picnic benches. Then, leave the D907 to enter St-Jeoire. You will be guided towards a pretty balcony road (D308) which will take you peacefully to Marignier. Continue towards the hills of Ayse after 2km with caution on the D19. And return to Annemasse from Marcellaz.
