From Col de Joux Plane, this route follows the ridge leading from Pointe de Chamossiere to the summit of Pointe d'Angolon. Return via the Bourgeoise.

From the Col de Joux-Plane, take the path on the right after the Nordic welcome chalet.
Follow this path to its end and continue along a path between two nipples towards the ridge to the left of Pointe de Chamossière.
On the edge of the ridge, you can cautiously observe the vertiginous corridors of very loose rock descending towards the Clévieux torrent.
The route continues along the ridge leading to the top of the Chamossière chairlift (Morzine ski area). The path passes behind a gazex* and, with the help of a cable, climbs a short rocky passage leading to the summit of Collu. Continue along the ridge to reach the summit of Pointe d'Angolon in just a few minutes.
The view opens out onto a 360° panorama stretching from Lake Geneva to the peaks of the Chablais region: the Cornettes de Bise, the Dents d'Oche, the Haut Giffre peaks and the Mont Blanc range.
To return, join the chairlift station and continue along the path towards the La Bourgeoise cross and orientation table. The final stretch is on a 4x4 track to the parking lot.
