	Montmin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Local legend states that Noah's Ark landed at the Col de l'Aulp, whose valley is indeed shaped like a ship; Noah is claimed to have planted the lakeside vineyards of Talloires which produced wines and brandy until the 1950s.
		With the arrival of modern roads and vehicles, Montmin has become a tourist attraction renowned for the scenic Col de la Forclaz mountain pass, one of the premier hang gliding and paragliding sites in Europe.
		And in July 1997 Montmin watched the Tour de France bicycle race come through the community, up from Faverges, over the Col de la Forclaz and back down toward Bluffy and the high Alps to the east.

	Le Reblochon
		The Col de la Colombière is a nice climb, not too long or steep, with an impressive view of the snow-covered Chaîne des Aravis.
		The smaller climbs of Le Reblochon were no problem, but the other significant climb, the Col de la Forclaz is very steep for a very long way with no respite.
		After the Col de la Forclaz, there were a couple of smaller climbs, including the Col du Marais, which the Tour climbed in 1994, then a nice downhill back to Thônes.

	Sentier du Glacier
		Arriving from the Col de la Forclaz, 10 to 15 big wagons were transported every day to the station of Martigny, that is 20’000 to 30’000 kilos of huge ice blocks.
		In 1895, a group of farmers organized in a cooperative dug a water conduit alongside this road sufficiently large to bring the water of the Trient glacier to the Col de la Forclaz.
		In 1986, with the support of the regional hiking federation Association Valaisanne de Tourisme Pédestre, the Loterie Romande and the municipality of Trient, the farmers’ cooperative repaired this famous water conduit that runs alongside the superb walk starting at the Col de la Forclaz.

		This first part is made up of three ascents: the first to Col de Montets(France), the second to Col de la Forclaz(Switzerland) and the last to Grand St. Bernard (frontier Switzerland/Italy) more and more difficult.
		Col de Montets it's very easy to reach also due to low devilment; there's just a little Savoy-roadsign on the top.
		Col de La Forclaz turns to be very crowded although his height is less than 1600 mt; i decide to take a long rest because ascent of Gran St. Bernard (44km) is coming; Col de la Forclaz is provided with a drinking fountain on the right just at the beginning of the descent.

		The Roselend photos was voted by French cycletourists as the 'most beautiful col' in France - it certainly ranks high in my 'top 10 passes' list, but you need to visit the Col du Pre photos as well, the extra effort is negligible and the scenic rewards are very great.
