Departure from Cohennoz (Savoie)
Cool and refreshing! That’s the key phrase to describe this walk. Even during a heatwave! In such conditions, do make sure to tackle the climb in the morning. Roughly 95 per cent of this walk is in the shade. And then there’s that footbridge, about a hundred metres long, spanning the Arly torrent. Not to mention the torrents and numerous waterfalls you’ll come across on your way to the village of Cohennoz, with its very unique eco-museum, which is well worth a visit.

3 hrs
Difficult
Departure from Faverges (Haute-Savoie)
A route via the Col de Tamié with an easy climb, a brief visit to Tamié Abbey and Tamié Fort, followed by a short push up to the small pass of Tamié, then a lovely descent to Chevronnet. Next comes a slightly steeper climb towards the Col du Vorger, followed by a descent via Thénésol.
The return journey follows a cycle path that passes beneath Ugine, where a short stop is a must at a rest area with a lovely lake.

A lovely climb starting from Albertville, passing through the medieval town of Conflans and pretty mountain hamlets with views of the Tarentaise Valley, before reaching the Refuge du Soplat des Stream. The refuge is ideally located near the Tour du Beaufortain with a beautiful view of Albertville and the Olympic Park.

Departure from Thônes (Haute-Savoie)
This route passes through the Col du Marais, joins the cycle path that takes you to Ugine, where the climb to Hery and Flumet begins. Then, the Route des Gorges de l'Arrondine leads to La Giettaz, the start of the tough climb up the Col des Aravis. All that remains then is the descent, which passes successively through La Clusaz and Saint-Jean-de-Sixt before reaching Thônes.
