Draillant walks
The Grotte aux Loups cave and the Maladière viewpoint
This is a short hike, but it is only suitable for hikers with a good sense of direction who are comfortable on steep terrain. Starting from the Châteaux d'Allinges, which are well worth a visit, and after a pleasant walk through the forest, a well-maintained path leads to the Grotte aux Loups in a wild setting. Above the cave, the Maladière viewpoint offers a beautiful panorama of Lake Geneva.
The Tour des Moises
A lovely little walk, ideal for beginners and those preparing for medium-altitude hiking.
The two castles of Allinges
Two castles on the same hilltop were rivals for many years before being dismantled. This short hike, which includes a few steep sections, allows you to visit the ruins of these castles, including a Romanesque chapel, and enjoy a sweeping view of Lake Geneva. An even shorter alternative avoids most of the climb.
The castles of Avully and Buffavens
At the foot of the Signal des Voirons and the Col de Cou, a rural loop leads to two beautiful castles, including Avully Castle, which is open to visitors.
Mont d'Hermone and Montagne des Soeurs from Vailly
This hike offers superb panoramic views of Lake Geneva and follows the entire ridge line of a modestly high peak. This circular route offers a more original and varied approach than the usual climb from the Col du Feu. Some sections require caution.
Pisse-Vache waterfall from Brenthonne
Starting from the isolated bell tower in Brenthonne, this short hike leads to a beautiful waterfall in the forest. The route offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Geneva. Along the way, you can admire the Château d'Avully, which is open to visitors.
Balcony above the Dranse river at the start of the hike in Armoy
A short hike that ends at a dead end... This is an opportunity to venture into a little-visited forest and walk along the slopes overlooking the Dranse River above its gorges. Expect to find damp vegetation where moss grows freely.
Pointe d'Ireuse via the chalets of Nifflon
The summit is rarely visited, despite offering a splendid 360° panorama of Lake Geneva, the Chablais peaks, the Dents du Midi and the Mont Blanc massif. The route includes forest trails at the bottom and alpine pastures at the top.
Pointe de Miribel loop from La Glappaz
A modest but isolated peak, the Pointe de Miribel offers extensive views of Lake Geneva and the Haute-Savoie mountains as far as Mont Blanc. The route on the southern slope of the summit is marked by a Way of the Cross dating from 1804. This loop offers a more original and varied approach than the usual climb from Ajon, through pleasant mountain pastures and a few wooded sections.
Pointe de la Gay
Hike above La Chèvrerie to reach Pointe de la Gay and discover the mountain pastures. View of the surrounding mountains.
Tour of Lake Vallon
Hike around Lake Vallon, part of the Chablais Geopark. You can admire different views of the lake and learn how it was formed in 1943, with the Roc d'Enfer in the background, and visit the Chapel of Saint-Bruno and the village of La Chèvrerie.
Diomaz Waterfall
A very pretty walk for everyone in an enchanting setting. The waterfall, made up of several cascades, flows into a multitude of naturally carved rock pools at a place called La Diomaz. At the foot of the waterfall is the Croix des Chartreux, engraved in the rock.
Pointe de Chalune à partir de la Chèvrerie
From La Chèvrerie, I suggest a very pretty circular walk to reach the Point de ChaluneAlong the way, you can discover magnificent landscapes (particularly towards Mont Blanc and the Lake Geneva basin), accompanied by a wonderful variety of flora at the height of the season.
Crossing Les Follys and Pointe de Chavannais in a circular loop
I suggest a lovely circular route starting from La Chèvrerie (Bellevaux) with numerous viewpoints along the way. After reaching the Diomaz waterfall, you will climb three peaks in succession (Pointe des Follys, Tête des Follys and Pointe de Chavannais) before returning via the Pététoz area. The main difficulties are the distance, the elevation gain and the steepness of some of the slopes.
