Hiking Trail
Hard
19.21 km
990 m
Ascend to Col de la Croix du Bonhomme, then contour across to the Col du Bonhomme to Les Contamines
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.
