A beautiful hike, not too difficult despite a few climbs! But no problem for experienced hikers. The route is partly shaded.

I recommend a walk at Château Richard offering numerous panoramic views of the Savoyard foothills, the Chambéry gorge, the Chartreuse, the Bauges and Belledonne to the east. To the west, you’ll see Lake Aiguebelette and a rolling landscape of hills and plains. Why not take the opportunity to hunt for the many geocaches dotted along the route (which the children will love)?

This walk combines a variety of points of interest, starting from Les Éléphants, Chambéry’s iconic monument, before heading towards the Charmettes neighbourhood, dear to Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Further up lies the Grande Montagne, which, whilst nothing like high mountains, nevertheless offers panoramic views of distant mountain ranges.
The first section follows theGR®96route.
