Morzine
at 151kmOption to go via Les Gets or Samoens. Morzine pretty dead outside the ski season.

Taninges
at 167kmStop for a coffe, you've earned it.

D12 hey we were on that road before
at 213kmD4 junction. In the summer can go over the Colombier. Grand Bornand quite busy at all times of the year, many decent terraces to soak up the sun and lunch. If it is not sunny, you should not be here.
Saint Jean de Sixt
at 213kmThe long way home via La Clusaz and the Cold des Arvis on teh D909, but this early in the season opt for the westerly route to Thones.
