PH7

Circuit through the Albanais countryside. It allows you to see the course of the Fier river from a south-facing hillside. In the past, vineyards were present on these south-facing terrains.

This loop allows you to enjoy the banks of the Rhône and its history linked to Seyssel. It takes you up high, through hamlets, vineyards and fields, where you can appreciate the beauty of the Rhône valley nestled between the Gros Foug mountain and Mont Colombier.

The Roc des Bœufs ridge offers magnificent views of the Bauges peaks and the Annecy basin.

A trail starting from the Baths of Aphrodite, located near Latchi-Polis, north of Paphos in Cyprus. This walk takes you past Mount Moutti tis Sotiras and offers breathtaking views of the Blue Lagoon and the Akamas Peninsula.

A lovely walk along the Porspoder coastline via theGR®34. A short stretch inland to follow the wash house route and admire the dolmens and menhir of Prat Joulou.

At the entrance to Aber Benoît, this route takes us to the dunes of Sainte-Marguerite in the commune of Landéda. The dunes offer a magnificent setting, which surfers have understood. The depth of the Broennou cove allows for a contrast of colours between the water and the sky, weather permitting.

A beautiful hike on the right bank of Lake Annecy. It will take you to the paragliding launch site and then to the pretty village of Talloires.

A lovely hike, shaded for most of the route. Beautiful views of the Aravis and Mont Blanc massif. The descent from Plan de l'Aar offers the chance to enjoy several waterfalls.

The Sous-Dîne plateau, whose summit is just under 2,000 m, offers a magnificent view of the cliffs that form it. The Aravis and Mont Blanc massifs seem close enough to touch.

Route above Combe de Sillingy offering a 360° view of the Vuache, Bornes and Bauges mountain ranges. The Bornachon orientation table is an exceptional location for viewing all these mountain ranges.

A hike offering splendid views of Lake Annecy and the villages of the Bauges Natural Park.

Mont Clergeon, with its summit at over 1,000 metres, is not one of the most popular peaks in Savoie. However, it offers a 360° view of the Rhône valley and the Bauges, Aravis and Mont Blanc mountains. The route is mostly shaded.

From the spectacular canyon at the Pont du Diable, this hike takes you to the sawmills, one of which has been restored by local heritage enthusiasts. The return route takes you through the pretty village of Bellecombe-en-Bauges

A circular hike to enjoy the Belvédère de Pierre Taillée viewpoint overlooking the Filière valley. The route is varied, through forest and then along the river. The village of Usillon is the starting point for the Glières plateau, another popular hiking destination.

Half-day family hike from the village of Moye. The climb at the start offers views of the Rumilly plain and the Haut-Savoyard foothills. The second part of the circuit takes you through the various hamlets of Moye, not forgetting the little extras: the small waterfall and the bridge over the Rivière du Parmand.

A circular hike starting from the village of Nonglard, passing through the hamlets of Vaux to reach the Col d'Angely. The descent towards Sillingy offers a beautiful view of the Annecy basin and, beyond, the Aravis and Mont Blanc massifs. Le Champ du Loup is the halfway point of this hike, which then returns to Nonglard via the hamlet of Quincy.

The Fiumedinisi castle, which serves as a viewpoint, dates back to the Middle Ages and occupied a strategic position overlooking the Nisi valley and the Ionian Sea. The Normans had restored this fortress. The castle was in a dilapidated state until 2006–2007, when its restoration was finally carried out.

A round-trip hike. From the summit, the view of the ancient castles of Castelmora and Taormina is exceptional. You’ll be transported back to a medieval past when Arabs and Normans fought over Sicily.

Exploring the Cat Tunnel via the safety gallery. This gallery, running parallel to the road tunnel, serves as an emergency exit in the event of an incident. Normally, this passage is used by many cyclists as well as pedestrians to get from the Lac du Bourget side to the Yenne Valley and the Chevelu Lakes. The tunnel has been converted into the “Musée du Chat” and features an impressive collection of murals created by contemporary artists, inspired by Savoyard tradition. In my opinion, it is unique in France. A note on the route: you will see an elevation gain of 732 m, which is incorrect, as the software includes the mountain height above the tunnel; you must therefore subtract 321 m, bringing the route’s total elevation gain down to 455 m.

A family-friendly hike that takes you through the typical mountain pastures of the Beaufortin region, with Mont Rond as its highest point. The view from the summit offers a detailed panorama of the various peaks of the Aravis massif. The path to Lac de Gui overlooks the steep-sided valleys of Roche Blanche and the Ruisseau de Douce.

A walk through the Semnoz Forest takes you to the ‘Grande Jeanne’, ‘Gélinottes’ and ‘Rochers des Becs’ viewpoints. These viewpoints offer views over the Sacconges plain and the Albanais region. It’s a very enjoyable outing in summer as the route is almost entirely through the forest.
