    Unique panorama on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland, the Jura and the Chablais valleys.

    This itinerary will first take you to the Mémises alpine chalets in the Thollon-les-Mémises ski area. This pretty loop will take you through some superb scenery on the Pic de Borée.

    You will then reach the Pic des Mémises by a round trip, where you will have a view overlooking Lake Geneva from one end to the other.
