Fiz Balcony’s: Le Mont - Varan - Plaine Joux - Souay (loop) Map

Springtime. Too much snow over 2000m. Too much traffic in the valley. This running route is right at the middle of it all, but still stays on quiet and scenic paths. A mix of gravel, single and rocky terrain. Drive via Servoz and park above La Cote (end of the road, can't miss it). Best done clockwise so the views to the MB range is always ahead.
