Allèves walks

The Saint-Jacques Towers are a group of three monoliths that have broken away from the cliff and continue to slide 2 to 3 cm per year. The suggested route allows you to see them from different angles, from above and below. Along the way, note the paved road and the massive log barns.

This walk takes you round this mountain, situated between the Semnoz to the north and the Revard massif to the south. Initially, you’ll follow theGRP® trail, which will take you to the summit (Crêt de la Dolca) and on to the Col de la Cochette (orientation table). Moderator’s note : reviews of this walk indicate that from (14) onwards, the path no longer exists. The only alternative is to follow the D911 for 4 km. See details in the description

When the peaks are shrouded in cloud or snow, this is an unpretentious hike through the Arith countryside. At the start of the hike, the Prérouge Cave and the resurgence near the mill are beautiful points of interest. You will also see beautiful houses and old barns.

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 short round trip walk to discover two very pretty sites, along paths through the woods.

A beautiful, easy hike on the Semnoz plateau. Numerous panoramic views throughout the hike.

A snowshoe hike enhanced by a stop at the Creux de Lachat refuge. It's always an opportunity to meet someone, even if it's just the caretaker. Panoramic views of Les Bauges and, further away, Les Aravis and Mont Blanc.

This circular route allows you to explore the north-eastern tip of the Revard Plateau. The gentle, undulating terrain offers views of the Bauges massif and Lake Bourget, and, at the highest point, a wider vista of the Alpine arc and Mont Blanc.A short detour to the Autel du Curé will take you in the footsteps of the Reign of Terror in Savoie.

Lake Mariet owes its existence to the impermeable glacial moraines of Montagne de Bange. It’s an easy, short walk that takes you through the mountain pastures, dotted with numerous well-maintained chalets. Suitable for beginners and young people given the elevation gain and distance. Don’t go looking too hard for a ‘lake’ – it’s more of a pond covering a few hundred square metres at the northern end of the mountain pasture.

A pleasant and easy hike in the heart of the Bauges Natural Park, mainly through the woods, allowing you to discover the Mariet mountain pastures dotted with pretty chalets and a small lake... a touch of water in a sea of flower-filled meadows. GPS recommended!

The Crêt de la Dolca via La Revêche and Les Trois Bornes. This description leads to the Crêt de la Dolca; this peak is not marked as such on the IGN map—there is only an altitude of 1434—but on the ground it is signposted with this name. This is a route that often strays from the marked paths, so you really need to use the map to find your way.

Large circular loop visiting the areas between Montagne de Bange and the Nordic areas of Saint-François-de-Sales. The ascent is via Mariet dessus to Creux de Lachat, then via the refuge, a climb to Les Pendants and back down via the ridge and its orientation table to Col de la Cochette. Climb back up to La Culaz and take a short detour to discover a curious altar dedicated to a refractory priest and a cross in the middle of the forest, before descending to the Chalet de la Plate and further down to the GR® trail to climb back up to the Tourbière des Creusates and the Croix des Bergers. The return journey is still long through the forest and then down the seemingly endless descent from La Plate to Montagny.A varied route between forests and mountain pastures, don't overlook the number of ascents and descents, but the views are well worth the effort.

A circular route allowing you to quickly gain altitude to visit the cows and horses that occupy the high pastures in the summer. Passes by a few lookout points offering beautiful views.The Visorando app is useful for certain sections.

Right from the start, there is a steep climb from Cusy to reach the Chalet du Trousset. The route then mostly follows beautiful trails and paths through the woods, offering lovely views in places. The Visorando app is highly recommended.

A loop with a variety of landscapes to discover the lakes of Lescheraines, the banks of the Chéran and the beautiful Pissieux waterfall. The route then climbs higher for beautiful views of the surrounding peaks.
