Departure from Verthemex (Savoie)
The Croix du Signal is a point on the Mont du Chat ridge that is easily accessible in all seasons and offers, in fine weather, a sweeping view. In winter, the easiest ascent is on the western slope, from the former Verthemex snow stadium.

Departure from Marcieux (Savoie)
A hike for everyone, entirely through woodland, with two superb viewpoints to discover the Chambéry basin, the foothills of the Bauges massif, the northern Chartreuse (Mont Granier) and, the icing on the cake, His Majesty Mont Blanc.
There is a slight difficulty in the form of three steel ladders, which can be bypassed via another path so you don’t miss a thing.

Departure from Le Bourget-du-Lac (Savoie)
A walk through the woodland on the hills above Bourget-du-Lac, very pleasant in hot weather! Superb views from the summit over Lakes Bourget and Aiguebelette, as well as over Chambéry.

Departure from La Motte-Servolex (Savoie)
I recommend a walk at Château Richard offering numerous panoramic views of the Savoyard foothills, the Chambéry gorge, the Chartreuse, the Bauges and Belledonne to the east. To the west, you’ll see Lake Aiguebelette and a rolling landscape of hills and plains. Why not take the opportunity to hunt for the many geocaches dotted along the route (which the children will love)?

Departure from Chambéry (Savoie)
This walk combines a variety of points of interest, starting from Les Éléphants, Chambéry’s iconic monument, before heading towards the Charmettes neighbourhood, dear to Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Further up lies the Grande Montagne, which, whilst nothing like high mountains, nevertheless offers panoramic views of distant mountain ranges.
The first section follows theGR®96route.
