This is a ‘leisurely’ route I’m suggesting to reach Mont Grèle. This path will take you via the Voie Sarde, the Rocher du Cordeau, the Col du Crucifix and the Col Saint-Michel, before you reach Mont Grèle and then head back down to explore the François I cave. Beautiful scenery, a bucolic atmosphere, and a magical final view of the lakes, the Granier and the Belledonnes – a superb route!

Departure from Vimines (Savoie)
The Mont Grelle viewpoint offers breathtaking views of Lakes Aiguebelette and Bourget, Chambéry Airport and the Massif de l’Épine. A short walk with a respectable elevation gain, mostly in the shade. A steady climb with no easy stretches. This slope of Mont Grelle is a maze of forest tracks, EDF service roads and footpaths: please follow the directions in the on-site guide carefully.

Moderate
Departure from Saint-Sulpice (Savoie) (Savoie)
The Rocher du Corbeau is easily accessible from Aiguebelette-le-Lac. I suggest you get there without taking the car to cross the massif. I have deliberately extended the hike slightly by adding a bit of elevation gain and giving us the chance to walk through this massif and discover two passes and the François I Cave.
It’s a hike I particularly enjoy in winter (when it’s warm, I prefer to head for the higher peaks), but above all, as it’s mainly through woodland, the lack of vegetation means you can enjoy more views.

Departure from Attignat-Oncin (Savoie)
The Mont Grêle lookout point and Archelle’s summit.
Mont Grêle is a peak that is visible from the valley of Chambéry and the Aiguebelette region.
It is easily spotted thanks to or because of the pylons that are installed at the top. Up close, these towers have still look great, but they do not alone justify the purpose of the tour, which is interesting because it offers views over Lake Aiguebelette and Chartreuse.

Very difficult
Departure from Saint-Thibaud-de-Couz (Savoie)
A challenging and demanding route: a steep climb at the start, a 5 km track, the Pas du Cuert and the return via a ridge littered with tricky sharp limestone pavements. Plenty of shade throughout the entire route (phew!). I’d rate it as very difficult due to the Pas du Cuert, the length of the walk and the descent from the plateau whilst tired.

The Épine massif near Chambéry is criss-crossed by numerous marked and unmarked trails; it is a mountain that has always been traversed by people. It is a vibrant area with economic and tourist appeal.Here is a short route that allows you to discover some of its attractions.

Departure from La Motte-Servolex (Savoie)
I recommend a walk at Château Richard offering numerous panoramic views of the Savoyard foothills, the Chambéry gorge, the Chartreuse, the Bauges and Belledonne to the east. To the west, you’ll see Lake Aiguebelette and a rolling landscape of hills and plains. Why not take the opportunity to hunt for the many geocaches dotted along the route (which the children will love)?

This walk will take you to a viewpoint overlooking Lake Aiguebelette and the surrounding mountains, particularly the Chartreuse range. The route runs mainly through woodland and is easy to navigate, apart from one section – which can be avoided but is quite fun – involving ladders.

Departure from La Motte-Servolex (Savoie)
A circular route mainly through woodland in the Montagne de l’Épine above La Motte-Servolex. The path, which is quite steep for the first few kilometres, joins a forest track that descends towards the hamlet of Les Cattis, where there are views towards Lac du Bourget (to the north-east), the Massif des Bauges (to the east) and the Cluse de Chambéry. On the return journey, after a few sections along roads, you pass through the hamlets of Les Granges, Le Villard and Montaugier.
