Description

We have now reached the southwest corner of the circuit and turn north to climb once again.

Today is a longer day; first we make a steep climb to the Col de la Croix du Bonhomme (8,130ft/2,478m) and then contour around to the Col du Bonhomme.

We then descend (again on a Roman road) to Les Contamines.

A short bus ride down the valley takes us to the pretty village of St Gervais, the perfect place for a day off.
