TAG

Beautiful and long hike, allowing you to gain height to overlook the hamlet of Romme up to the Col de Gueule à Vent. On the foothills of the Aravis chain, discover the local mountain pastures in magnificent mountain landscapes.

Near Cluses-Scionzier, this round trip route starts from the hamlet of Romme, a small mountain village in a preserved and authentic setting.

Go and meet the Alpine farmers of the Chalets de Vormy, the opportunity to immerse yourself in an agricultural area typical of our mountains and to leave with the cheese produced on site.

From the mountain pasture of Vormy, the path levels out little by little, leaving the possibility of admiring the numerous panoramas of Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks.

At the foot of Pointe d'Areu, the route continues to the aptly named Col de la Geule à Vent. The chain of Bargy is then revealed at the bend of a superb point of view.
