Circular Crêt du Merle starting from Boirond
A walk through the heart of the meadows, between parks and paths, with views of the Parmelan.

The Pas de l'Echelle and the Lumberjacks’ Trail
Starting from Pas de l’Échelle, a lovely route that ends at the upper station of the Salève cable car, passing through the Vallon de Monnetier, the Bûcherons trail, the top of the Petite Gorge and the summit plateau.
A hike featuring some very exposed sections, reserved for those with absolutely no fear of heights, and requiring the utmost caution.
Tour of the canton by bike from Chêne-Bourg
A short bike ride in the Geneva countryside. Ideal for families.
It starts gently on a section of the greenway, which you then leave before returning to it briefly before the finish.
The ride passes through Chêne-Bourg, then heads into Champel, Bout du Monde and Veyrier, before completing a beautiful circular loop through the countryside. The ride then continues to Thonex, Puplinge, Choulex and Vandoeuvres. Be patient at the end, as the roads are narrow and you may encounter motorists travelling in the opposite direction on one-way streets.
Parmelan loop from Dingy via the Col du Perthuis
Le Parmelan, via a slightly less traditional route.
At the summit, sharp limestone pavement, Grotte de l'Enfer (and other caves), Mont Blanc range.
The Col de la Forclaz from Entremont to Le Petit Bornand
In the commune of Glières-Val-de-Borne, in the Bargy massif, Lac de Lessy is a true gem at the foot of the Pic de Jalouvre. The walk takes you through forests and mountain pastures. It features a short rocky section. The start from La Joux and the return via Montagne de Paradis and Cocogne are what make this walk unique. You pass the two-hundred-year-old hamlet of Les Chalets de Mayse. The Chalet de Lessy is nestled on the lakeside after the Col de la Forclaz.
