Hike to Montagne de Sulens

Last summer, starting from Le Bouchet-Mont-Charvin, I went on a hike to Montagne de Sulens.

Here is a map of the path I walked:

In the morning, I took a Car Région bus (line Y62) to Thônes. I then boarded a CCVT summer shuttle to Le Bouchet-Mont-Charvin. I started walking on the road and arrived at the path I had already taken a few weeks earlier (in the other direction): It passed below Montagne de Sulens on the way to Col de la Botte. At the Col, I found the ridge trail to the summit, passing through Petit Sulens. There was a great view all along. After the summit, I continued a bit further until after the cross (Croix de Sulens). In the morning, I wanted to do a loop and go back to Le Bouchet. However, I wasn’t feeling another ascent, so instead, I went down towards Col du Marais (another option would have been to go down to Serraval, but I wasn’t sure there was a trail and the schedule was already tight as it is to make it in time for the shuttle). I waited there for the shuttle back to Thônes.
