Hike to Chalet de Narderan


Crêt de la Neige is the highest mountain peak in the French territory around Geneva. It is located in the commune of Lélex, and provides a good vantage point for viewing the Mont Blanc, the Alps, and the Geneva river.

The uphill hike begins from the commune of Thoiry, through its dense forest.

Farmers bring their cattle in this area for grazing. It is advised to keep distance from the animals, as the dogs kept for the protection of cattle can be hostile.

After a ~50 minutes hike, the first stopping point is called Objectif Gaïa. On the way to the peak there are several resting points from which the scenic views can be observed. One of them is Chalet de Narderan.
