Very difficult
Departure from Le Petit-Bornand-les-Glières (Haute-Savoie)
Starting from the hamlet of Termine (in the commune of Le Petit Bornand), I suggest you take a challenging route to reach the Pointe d’Andey. This route offers numerous views and, with a bit of luck, you may spot a few ibex.
Please note: there is a particularly challenging section in the Revenne area, where sure-footedness is essential on steep slopes and near a number of ravines. The route in the opposite direction is not recommended.
For further details, see the difficulty rating by section in the Practical Information section.

Departure from Entremont (Haute-Savoie)
In the commune of Glières-Val-de-Borne, in the Bargy massif, Lac de Lessy is a true gem at the foot of the Pic de Jalouvre. The walk takes you through forests and mountain pastures. It features a short rocky section. The start from La Joux and the return via Montagne de Paradis and Cocogne are what make this walk unique. You pass the two-hundred-year-old hamlet of Les Chalets de Mayse. The Chalet de Lessy is nestled on the lakeside after the Col de la Forclaz.
