Mont Grêle is a peak that is visible from the valley of Chambéry and the Aiguebelette region.

-1,867 ft
4h 20
Moderate
Departure from Saint-Sulpice (Savoie) (Savoie)
The Rocher du Corbeau is easily accessible from Aiguebelette-le-Lac. I suggest you get there without taking the car to cross the massif. I have deliberately extended the hike slightly by adding a bit of elevation gain and giving us the chance to walk through this massif and discover two passes and the François I Cave.
It’s a hike I particularly enjoy in winter (when it’s warm, I prefer to head for the higher peaks), but above all, as it’s mainly through woodland, the lack of vegetation means you can enjoy more views.

Mont Gela is a micro-range at the southern end of the Bugey, which offers a variety of routes despite its low altitude and limited size. The proposed circular visits its main sites and endeavours to pass by the viewpoints of its limestone ridge. Feasible in all seasons, it requires a good sense of direction, as some forgotten passages are poorly marked on the ground and vegetation sometimes obstructs the path.
