Arrondine (rivière) walks

A beautiful loop to a little-known peak between Aravis and Beaufortain, particularly scenic. The climb is steep but the return loop via the little Croisse Baulet is enchanting, like a balcony with exceptional views of the Mont Blanc massif. It can get a little crowded on the way back as it can be reached in an hour from the Jaillet cable car.

The Col de Jaillet offers a magnificent view of Mont Blanc, which appears close by. You can also see a Roman boundary stone that marked the border at the time.

The route offers magnificent views of the Aravis mountain range with Mont Blanc opposite you. Pure bliss!

A superb summit that is well worth the effort, with breathtaking 360° views: the Aravis mountain range, the Aiguilles Rouges massif, the Mont Blanc massif and Beaufortain.

Le Petit Croisse Baulet is a superb summit offering a 360° view of the entire Mont Blanc massif and the Aravis mountain range. At the summit and at the Col de Jaillet, you can see a Roman boundary stone that marked the border at the time.

This loop offers beautiful panoramic views of the Mont Blanc range, the Arve Valley and the Aravis range from a balcony trail.

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.

A varied itinerary on fairly gentle slopes, with exceptional views from the ridges. The Croisse Baulet is mainly used by ski tourers, while the Petit Croisse Baulet is accessible from several sides, both on snowshoes and skis: the proposed loop starts at Le Plan, in La Giettaz.
