On January 20, despite the bad weather forecasting, the Tête de Bostan delighted us.
This Sunday, January 27 we will go to the Ambrevetta (2463m) in the Aravis. We will go up from Confins (La Clusaz) and descend by the same way. This summit offers a magnificent view over all the Bargy chain and Confins valley.... on one side, and Plateau de Béné, Giattaz, Beaufortin ... on the other side.
Altitude gain: 1050m. Length: 13 km. Oxygen 74 cotation : 2C.
