COL du MARCHAIRUZ


Col du Marchairuz [311 Kb]

I had driven over the Col du Marchairuz in the Swiss Jura a couple of times while on my way to Lac de Jou and Chasseral and had thought it was an area that deserved further exploration. I did exactly that on a February day in 2006 when I returned with snowshoes. The weather was mostly overcast and the walk I did was short, only a few kilometres, but the snow conditions were excellent and it was nice to get out for some fresh air and exercise. I walked up to a 1602.5 metre knoll a few hundred meters northeast of Grand Cunay where I had lunch while enjoying the views which extended over all of Lake Geneva with the Alps lying beyond. At times, even Jet d'Eau at Geneva was visible.
