Montagne du Banchet is very popular when the daffodils are in bloom: the proposed route runs along the flower-covered ridge and stretches to the ruins of the proud Château de Montbel.

A lovely walk through fairly varied terrain. There is a significant proportion of tarmac roads, but there is virtually no traffic, except on the climb up the Col de Crusille. The section of path between the Grand Bec viewpoint is a little tricky; it can be avoided by heading to the Col du Banchet, then following the road to Le Banchet.

Do you want to connect with nature, admire its beauty at the slow pace of walking, walk to get to know yourself better, get back to basics, and push yourself to new limits? Set off on an adventure along the Camino de Santiago. That’s what I’m offering you with this route. I set off from my village in the Jura (the first six stages aren’t part of the signposted routes of the Camino de Santiago) to reach Santiago de Compostela in Spain, but there’s nothing to stop you setting off from your own home to join the route at one of the stages, or starting from Le Puy-en-Velay or any other town along the way..

Departure from Chambéry (Savoie)
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.
