Take a drive up the Col de Joux Plane at the North side of Samoens. Drive up until you come to the picnic tables and have an evening sundowner or picnic! Fantastic in summer. Wonderful views up the valley towards Sixt. In the summer, bike up - if you have the legs - and drop down the other side for an epic descent into Morzine.
