Croisse Baulet loop from Le Plan

A beautiful loop to a little-known peak between Aravis and Beaufortain, particularly scenic.

It can get a little crowded on the way back as it can be reached in an hour from the Jaillet cable car.
Petit Croisse Baulet via the Col de Niard

This loop offers beautiful panoramic views of the Mont Blanc range, the Arve Valley and the Aravis range from a balcony trail.

Pointe des Carmélites

If you enjoy the karstic atmosphere of sharp limestone pavement, don't hesitate to undertake this fairly short hike, which offers beautiful scenery throughout. The first half follows paths, but the second half is off-trail. Choose your route carefully and don't be afraid of rocks. As a result, it takes longer than the elevation gain would suggest (3 hours of climbing).
This route is strongly discouraged in poor visibility, especially for the off-trail section.

A good ridge walk starting from the Bettex telecabin station at Mont d'Arbois and finishing at Le Signal telecabin station above Les-Contamines-Montjoie.

Climb to the Platé Desert

Prarion loop from Saint-Gervais-les-Bains

A pretty, varied loop that starts off rural, then becomes airy, then vertiginous, then wooded. The views from the Prarion ridge are particularly beautiful over the entire Mont Blanc massif. The descent to the Col de la Forclaz is a little vertiginous (with cables in places) but not difficult.
The Mont Joly mountain range

A magnificent, long hike for those who are not afraid of heights, probably one of the best views in the region of the Aravis, Mont Blanc and Beaufortain.
Please note: The second part of the ascent is very exposed and impressive, not recommended for those who are afraid of heights, children or inexperienced hikers.
Porcherey refuge from Plan de la Croix

A beautiful hike offering views of numerous mountain ranges along the way: the Aravis range, Tête du Colonney and surrounding area, the Mont Blanc range, Mont d'Arbois and Mont Joly.
