Presentation
Step by step guide:
From Rontalon to the summit of Mont Orchez: 1h45 From the Rontalon car park, head towards Mont Orchez. The climb begins a little on the road, then the path goes up to the left into pastures. At the exit of the park, turn right between the buildings. The path then passes through the undergrowth and crosses the main road several times before arriving at the place called “Sur le Coux” (country atmosphere, inn, etc.). The climb continues through a beautiful forest on a sometimes very steep path. A handrail secures a technical passage that cannot be avoided: a handrail is installed to help you. At the top, a lovely view of the Arve valley, facing the Môle and the Bargy chain. From Mont Orchez to a place called Les Larroz: 50 min For the descent, follow the direction of Les Larroz via the Creux du Plane. You will wind through a pretty forest, on a fairly steep descent but without any difficulty. At Creux du Plane, take the direction of Les Larroz. You will arrive in the hamlet. From Larroz to the Rontalon car park: 30 min Cross the hamlet of Larroz, and head towards the Rontalon car park. You will follow a balcony path, which will offer a beautiful view of the massifs. At the end of the forest, you will arrive in a meadow, head towards the chalet, and head towards the car park.
