On the way, enjoy the superb panoramic view of the Alps and Mont-Blanc, the Arve Valley and Geneva. You'll also see the famous "Old Stone" boulder deposited here from the Mont Blanc range. In Monnetier-Mornex, the 19th-century hotels and guest houses and the old funicular railway station serve as a reminder that the village is a mountain holiday resort very popular with people from the Geneva area.
