The mountain pass is a very popular spot for tourists travelling by coach or car, it is also the starting point for walks to the "Chalet du Cure" in a lush mountain pasture setting with magnificent views over the Mont Blanc mountain range. (Starting point- Col des Aravis 1486m: Vertical incline- 450m downhill only: Highest point- Col des Aravis) How to get there: Leave you car in the village and take the ski bus that goes up to the mountain pass. Walking route: From the mountain pass, walk alongside the road to La Clusaz for 200m, go across the car park on your left-hand side an you will come to the lane after a little wooden bridge. The lane runs alongside the mountain pasture stream as far as the junction with the chemin du "Tour du Pays" (tour of the region) that you will take on the right. Walk below the mountain chalet and cross the road for the first time (be careful of traffic). You will come to a group of houses known as the "Aravis d'en bas" (auberge). When you have crossed over the road two more times, you will get to the hamlet of La Serraz from where you will take the B-road for 100m. On the left-hand side, follow the old road again as far as the route de la Croix Fry. Carry on along this road for 300m, passing by a road on your left leading to the Etale cable car. Before you reach the route du col des Aravis take the route de Sence on the left (old mountain pass road) as far as the Gotty chapel. One more kilometre down this road and you will be back in La Clusaz. When you arrive you must be careful to go back along the old mountain pass road, via the little lane beneath the "La Chaumiere" car park.
