Departure from Marlens (Haute-Savoie)
If you enjoy elevation changes, steep slopes, forests, the sound of flowing water and the somewhat wild side of nature, then this hike is for you. Located in the southernmost part of the Aravis mountain range, this route no longer poses any orientation problems, as it has recently been marked out. There are no particular technical difficulties, but some sections along the cliffs will require your full attention.
