Col du Sire (1418 m) walks

This hike is for the fittest and most experienced walkers! You’ll need to be up for a long distance, tackling significant elevation gain, and navigating a few technical sections – some of which are off-track! You’ll be rewarded with superb views of Lake Bourget, the Croix du Nivolet, the Chambéry basin, the ‘Arche Improbable’ and the Doriaz, amongst others. Please note thatthe section leading to the ‘Arche Improbable’ requires you to find your way under a rocky outcrop, in an area with no marked trail, including a section where you’ll need to use your hands and do a bit of scrambling before emerging onto Mont Peney.

Varied landscapes with lovely views of Lake Bourget and the surrounding mountains. A variation on the famous Croix du Nivolet hike with its 360° panorama, but more physically demanding than it appears.
