Barberaz walks
Croix de la Coche loop
Coche or Cochette means a passage. The ancestral passage between the villages of Montagnole and Saint-Baldoph is marked by a solid, massive stone cross. Information panels along the way. Panoramic views at the summit and on the descent along the ridge.
Towards Les Hauts de Chanaz
This is a simple circular walk for a half-day excursion. It takes place in the foothills of the Chartreuse Mountains. Beautiful views of Les Bauges, Chartreuse, L'Épine and Lac du Bourget.
Loop through historic Chambéry
Visit the historic centre of Chambéry, passing by the Château des Ducs de Savoie, the Town Hall, Saint-François de Salles Cathedral, the Museum of Fine Arts... and charming little pedestrian passages. A very pleasant route.
Montbasin Razerel Monterminod
A walk to revisit the classics near Chambéry.
Mont Charvais, Croix de la Coche and Bec du Corbeau
This circular route on the outskirts of Chambéry takes you to three vantage points offering panoramic views of the Belledonne mountain range, Les Bauges and La Chartreuse. On the outskirts of Mont Charvais, surrounded by pine trees, you can almost feel the Mediterranean atmosphere – all that's missing are the cicadas.
Chapelle Saint-Michel via Bellevarde and the Stèle
The Mont Saint-Michel Chapel, which is clearly visible from the Chambéry basin, is often the destination for a Sunday afternoon walk starting from Montmerlet above Curienne. There is only a hundred metres or so of elevation gain.
The trail is very well marked.
Chemin des Vignes from Bout du Monde to Passerelle du Trou de l'Enfer
A beautiful walk along the Leysse gorges and through the old vineyards of Saint-Jean-d'Arvey.
The trail, while not particularly difficult, can be a little steep and slippery.
It offers superb views of the Leysse and the cliffs of Mont Peney.
From the Chapel of Saint-Saturnin to Pragondran
This walk to the Pragondran paragliding launch area takes place along the edge of the cliff, offering occasional views of the valley and Lake Bourget.
La Croix de Nivolet via the Pas de l'Echelle
A varied hike that takes you to the Croix de Nivolet from an unusual angle.
The Chemin du Bon Pas
A short walk to escape the city. Some clear views as soon as you climb.
Le Chemin de Coirat
Peri-urban circuit to quickly escape the city. Views of Chartreuse and Bauges.
Mont Peney
This hike is quite physically demanding in the first part. The section along the Doria is really very pleasant. At the summit, you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of Belledonne and Chartreuse. The fairly long descent is not particularly difficult.
Rock paintings of Mont Peney
A short walk above the town to meet distant artists. Panorama of the valley and the Chartreuse massif opposite.
From Saint-Jeoire to Montmélian through the vineyards
In December, a good idea for a sunny walk is to go hiking in the vineyards.
The walk described below is just one of many possible routes through the Chignin vineyards.
There are endless variations possible.
Around Mont Ronjou
This is an easy hike to a small grassy peak overlooking the vineyards of Saint-Jeoire-Prieuré. Enjoy beautiful views of the Belledonne mountain range, the Chartreuse mountains and the Chambéry cluse. There are markings and even directional signs, but not along the entire route described.
The Carret Cave and the Trou de la Doriaz in Lovettaz
At the foot of the Croix du Nivolet, enjoy a lovely walk in the woods to cool off and discover the Grotte à Carret and the Trou de la Doriaz (the source of the torrent in the middle of the cliff) as well as some beautiful waterfalls.
Footbridge circuit from Saint-Jean-d'Arvey
This is a pleasant route to walk at any time of year, particularly in late autumn as it enjoys plenty of sunshine.
The route of the Himalayan footbridge at Trou de l'Enfer allows you to discover the curious meanders of the Leysse.
Pichut waterfall circuit
This circuit runs along the foothills of the Chartreuse mountains at the foot of Mont Granier. Discover the vineyards, a pretty waterfall and views of the Belledonne and Bauges mountains. A few information boards add to the interest of this easy walk.
