Mont Charvet from Le Grand-Bornand
7.97 mi
+4,944 ft
-4,928 ft
8 hrs
Very difficult
Departure from Le Grand-Bornand (Haute-Savoie)
A partially circular and varied hike, one of the most beautiful we have done in the Aravis! From the summit, you can enjoy a sumptuous panorama (only the Pointe Percée still dares to taunt the climber). On the way back to Le Grand-Bornand, you can gaze at the haughty silhouette, now more familiar, of the summit you have just climbed.
A few places of sacred remembrance around Bussy-en-Othe
8.15 mi
+443 ft
-466 ft
4h 10
Moderate
Departure from Bussy-en-Othe (Yonne)
A shaded walk through the Forest of Othe, following in the footsteps of an ancient hermitage and a miraculous spring.
La Gouille des Fours via the Passage de la Grande Forclaz
14.13 mi
+6,145 ft
-6,148 ft
10 hrs
Very difficult
Departure from La Clusaz (Haute-Savoie)
This long and demanding hike links the Borne and Arve valleys via one of the few passes crossing the Aravis range. It leaves behind the bustling paths of the Confins Valley for the austere landscape of the Combe de la Grande Forclaz, then descends into the mountain pastures above Sallanches before climbing again to the enchanting Gouille des Fours valley, nestled against the rocky faces on the leeward side of the Aravis.Best tackled over one or two days (with a bivouac at the Gouille des Fours).
