Departure from Saint-François-de-Sales (Savoie)
A short hike with very little elevation gain, accessible to all. It allows you to discover a beautiful natural site, one of the largest peat bogs in the Alps. In addition, the very short climb to the Croix des Bergers offers a superb panorama.

Departure from Arith (Savoie)
Large circular loop visiting the areas between Montagne de Bange and the Nordic areas of Saint-François-de-Sales. The ascent is via Mariet dessus to Creux de Lachat, then via the refuge, a climb to Les Pendants and back down via the ridge and its orientation table to Col de la Cochette. Climb back up to La Culaz and take a short detour to discover a curious altar dedicated to a refractory priest and a cross in the middle of the forest, before descending to the Chalet de la Plate and further down to the GR® trail to climb back up to the Tourbière des Creusates and the Croix des Bergers. The return journey is still long through the forest and then down the seemingly endless descent from La Plate to Montagny.A varied route between forests and mountain pastures, don't overlook the number of ascents and descents, but the views are well worth the effort.
