Departure from Dingy-Saint-Clair (Haute-Savoie)
From Dingy-Saint-Clair, I suggest you head to the Tête à Turpin and then on to the Mont Téret plateau, enjoying beautiful scenery and numerous viewpoints along the way. Please note, this is a challenging hike: there are difficulties on a few tricky sections requiring caution in exposed areas, and the route is not always easy to follow. Please read the description and practical information.

Departure from Thorens-Glières (Haute-Savoie)
Starting from the Fillière Valley, I suggest a lovely circular trail to the south-west of the Glières Plateau, through sometimes wild surroundings, with some beautiful views along the way: the trail leads successively to three peaks (Tête Noire, Tête Ronde and Tête d'Arpettaz), then after a short passage through the Gorge d'Ablon, it joins the Mont Téret sector via the Croix du Bénitier.Please note that a little caution is required on the few sections of sharp limestone pavement you will cross.

Departure from La Balme-de-Thuy (Haute-Savoie)
From La Balme-de-Thuy, I suggest you take a lovely walk around the southern part of Mont Téret via the Col de la Bourse, Les Grands Prés and the Col du Pertuis. This is a fairly challenging route in terms of distance and elevation, with a few difficulties, mainly on the Passage de la Bourse.

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.
