However, if you find this is not accessible by car, parking is available at the Pr\u00e9s Ronds car park (1216 m), situated before the village of Montmin, approximately 25 km from Annecy toward the Col de la Forclaz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, proceed on foot to the Col de l\u2019Aulp via the designated footpath, requiring approximately a 40-minute walk. The route takes you over grassy fields and rocky paths and leads you to one of the best views in the Haute-Savoie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.randos-montblanc.com\/en\/hard-hikes\/tournette.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"La Tournette - 4K Aerial Footage - DJI Phantom 3\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0nywQahl4L0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-the-saint-germain-hermitage-loop-by-ponnay\">5.
