Col de la Forclaz de Montmin
by matt
What a place. Not nearly as high as the surrounding mountains, at 5010ft, Col de la Forclaz offers some of the best views of Lake Annecy. It is a spectacular vista. You can grab some great food, sip coffee or something stronger at some nice little cafes and watch paraglider and after paraglider launch themselves, seemingly into the abyss, and then sail upwards on currents of warm air like eagles.
The tour de France passes through this very spot tomorrow (Friday 22nd July, stage 19). I will be watching.
