Fréterive walks

The most beautiful of the Baujus peaks! Loop hike Mont Pecloz 2197m and Mont d'Armenaz 2158m. Please note: The descent from Mont Pécloz is rather tricky (exposure to rockfalls + some passages requiring the use of your hands).

A beautiful, challenging circular route that takes you to two of the 14 2,000-metre peaks in the Bauges massif, Mont Pécloz and Mont d'Armenaz. The climb up to the pass separating the two peaks is quite steep, but you'll be accompanied by chamois. Once you reach the summit, Mont Pécloz offers a 360° view of the Alps. The descent is popular with ski tourers in winter.

This is a beautiful circular that allows you to see three sides of Arcalod, climb to the summit via Orgeval and descend via a wilder route. It is a demanding but magnificent hike in good weather. Please note that access to the Pointe d'Arcalod is not recommended with children or in wet weather.

The Col d'Orgeval is located on theGRP® trail in the Massif des Bauges. More than the pass or the chalets, it is the superb Orgeval valley with its gentle slopes that will remain in hikers' memories. The mountain pasture is owned by the same family, who graze a pretty herd of heifers there.

Pointe de la Fougère is not the most popular of the Beaujus peaks. This hike retains a wild character; it is not uncommon to see animals on the ascent. Beautiful panoramic views of the nearby peaks and beyond.

This hike will take you to the Pointe de Chaurionde via the Col du Haut du Four and the south-west ridge. Don't miss the chamois that inhabit the slopes.

You will cross the Vallon d'Orgeval (the valley of bears), which has now become a peaceful valley home to Tarine and Abondance cows and marmots.In June, the flora is magnificent and varied. Chaurionde means "round summit". (6) Access to the summit (or descent) via the Chalet de Coutarse is now prohibited (ZR zone of the PNR).
