Mont Joux, Mountain summit in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France
Mont Joux is a mountain summit in the French Alps near Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, reaching an elevation of about 1964 meters. The terrain features several marked hiking routes across the slopes with views of surrounding peaks.
The mountain sits on the territory of the former Duchy of Savoy, which shaped the alpine region between France, Italy, and Switzerland until the 19th century. This strategic location made the Alps an important borderland with deep historical roots.
Local mountain guides maintain traditions established in the 19th century, leading visitors through carefully mapped routes while sharing knowledge of Alpine navigation.
Trails are marked with orange indicators that hikers can easily spot. Most routes start from lower elevations and allow for various difficulty levels, so it helps to assess your fitness beforehand.
Orange marker stakes form a network connecting Mont Joux with neighboring mountain points like La Bourgeoise. This system lets hikers combine different routes and explore longer alpine stretches.
