Brenthonne walks

Starting from the isolated bell tower in Brenthonne, this short hike leads to a beautiful waterfall in the forest. The route offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Geneva. Along the way, you can admire the Château d'Avully, which is open to visitors.

At the foot of the Signal des Voirons and the Col de Cou, a rural loop leads to two beautiful castles, including Avully Castle, which is open to visitors.

A lovely little walk, ideal for beginners and those preparing for medium-altitude hiking.

This is a short hike, but it is only suitable for hikers with a good sense of direction who are comfortable on steep terrain. Starting from the Châteaux d'Allinges, which are well worth a visit, and after a pleasant walk through the forest, a well-maintained path leads to the Grotte aux Loups in a wild setting. Above the cave, the Maladière viewpoint offers a beautiful panorama of Lake Geneva.

A modest but isolated peak, the Pointe de Miribel offers extensive views of Lake Geneva and the Haute-Savoie mountains as far as Mont Blanc. The route on the southern slope of the summit is marked by a Way of the Cross dating from 1804. This loop offers a more original and varied approach than the usual climb from Ajon, through pleasant mountain pastures and a few wooded sections.

Two castles on the same hilltop were rivals for many years before being dismantled. This short hike, which includes a few steep sections, allows you to visit the ruins of these castles, including a Romanesque chapel, and enjoy a sweeping view of Lake Geneva. An even shorter alternative avoids most of the climb.

A walk along the ridge and through the woods (in the cool), without tarmac, with beautiful views of Geneva and Lake Geneva to the west, and the Alps and the Mont Blanc range to the east. This loop has the advantage of being shortened (or extended) as you wish, as it intersects with many other trails.

This hike offers superb panoramic views of Lake Geneva and follows the entire ridge line of a modestly high peak. This circular route offers a more original and varied approach than the usual climb from the Col du Feu. Some sections require caution.

Located on the shores of Lake Geneva, Yvoire and Nernier are two medieval villages that can be visited on foot. This hike offers the opportunity to discover these two superb sites by walking between them. The route described here is a short round trip, but in summer it can be done as a one-way trip with a return by boat.

A short hike that ends at a dead end... This is an opportunity to venture into a little-visited forest and walk along the slopes overlooking the Dranse River above its gorges. Expect to find damp vegetation where moss grows freely.

The summit is rarely visited, despite offering a splendid 360° panorama of Lake Geneva, the Chablais peaks, the Dents du Midi and the Mont Blanc massif. The route includes forest trails at the bottom and alpine pastures at the top.

Hike above La Chèvrerie to reach Pointe de la Gay and discover the mountain pastures. View of the surrounding mountains.

A very pretty walk for everyone in an enchanting setting. The waterfall, made up of several cascades, flows into a multitude of naturally carved rock pools at a place called La Diomaz. At the foot of the waterfall is the Croix des Chartreux, engraved in the rock.

Starting from the Sommand ski resort, this loop offers access to three peaks in the area: Haute Pointe, Pointe de Chavasse and Pointe de Chalune. This route mainly takes you through alpine pastures, offering beautiful views along the way. Please note! Some sections require caution: the route is off-trail and involves steep slopes where you must take care not to slip (see the practical information section). Please note that during the summer months (July to September), the route crosses pastoral land where there may be flocks of sheep and sheepdogs (see the practical information section).

A very beautiful circular offering a variety of landscapes. At Col des Charmettes and Col de Chavannais, you can enjoy extensive views of the Chablais. This route is surrounded by numerous peaks that appear as you hike: Haute Pointe, Pointe de Chavasse, Pointe de Chalune. At Col de Vésinaz, a panorama of the Mont Blanc massif awaits you.

In the heart of the Chablais region, climb two iconic peaks: the Pointe de Chalune and the Roc d'Enfer. This long and demanding hike is most difficult when crossing the Roc d'Enfer, where there are a few exposed sections that require great caution.

A must-do and very popular hike in the Sommand area. Located at over 2,000 m, the Pointe de Chalune is accessible and does not present any particular difficulty. However, don't underestimate the 578 m climb to reach the summit, a small plateau topped by a cairn, where you can enjoy a 360° panorama.

This is an interesting circular loop that crosses the Pointes de Chavasse and then Chalune, with extensive views of the Northern Alps along the way. The elevation gain is not very significant, but the climbs are steep, particularly the one up the West Couloir of Pointe de Chavasse, which alone justifies the "very difficult" rating.
