About this stop
Leaving Les Contamines, Stage 2 climbs beside Roman‑era roadway to reach Col du Bonhomme and winds above marmot‑whistling scree to Croix du Bonhomme refuge. Vast panoramas of the Beaufortain peaks accompany a long, knee‑friendly descent into the remote pastoral hamlet of Les Chapieux, where herds graze beneath circling bearded vultures.
