Habère-Poche walks

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.

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.

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.

Whether you are an experienced hiker or simply looking for a nature getaway, the grand tour of the Crêtes de Seytroux promises an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the mountain pastures and forests of the Vallée d'Aulps. Be sure to take in the abundant flora along the route, and you may even spot deer or chamois around a bend in the path. A 360° panorama awaits you from the summit of Pointe de la Gay, with breathtaking views of Mont Blanc, Roc d'Enfer and all the surrounding peaks.

This is an easy hike. You will follow a quiet road throughout your hike. You will appreciate the cool shade provided by the trees. At the end of the path: the Seytrouset mountain pasture! Enjoy the alpine atmosphere in all its splendour to the sound of cowbells near the wooden chalets, typical of the Savoyard alpine environment.

A family walk that starts with a peaceful path along the Torrent de Seytroux, known here as the Nant de Seytroux. You will then set off to explore the hamlets of Seytroux and their traditional houses. Don't miss the view of the village centre with the Pic de la Corne in the background from the hamlet of Crêt!

Starting from the Sommand ski resort, this loop takes you to three peaks in the area: Haute Pointe, Pointe de Chavasse and Pointe de Chalune. The route mainly runs through alpine pastures, offering beautiful views along the way. Caution! Some sections require caution: the route is off-trail and involves steep slopes where you must take care not to slip (see the practical information section).

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.

Take advantage of the exceptional setting of the picturesque villages of Le Biot and Saint-Jean-d'Aulps to immerse yourself in the heart of the mountain pastures... The reward is a breathtaking view of Saint-Jean-d'Aulps, Seytroux and Mont Blanc! Along the way, don't miss the traditional alpine flowers in the middle of the green mountain pastures and the oratory nestled in the hollow of a rock.

Treat yourself to an invigorating break in the heart of nature. Take a shaded forest trail for a refreshing hike, lulled by the murmur of a stream and the discreet song of birds. The rocky walls that line the trail will remind you of the quiet power of the mountains. The climb, which is steady from the car park to the refuge, invites you to take your time. It starts off gently, giving way to a more challenging section shortly before the end — a final rewarding effort before reaching your destination, nestled in the heart of nature.

The wide path that leads to this unexpected lake is very pleasant and easy to walk on. You will quickly enjoy a wide panorama of Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks until you reach a small glacial lake up to 10 m deep. From the lake, I suggest taking the path to Pointe du Haut Fleury. A beautiful view awaits you there, along with two orientation tables.

This is a varied and wild hike, a great opportunity to breathe in the pure mountain air while discovering the flora of the mountain pastures. Along the trail, admire the panoramic view of the Vallée d'Aulps and Lake Geneva. An additional section, described in the practical information, allows you to climb to the summit of Mont Ouzon, where you can enjoy a 360° view of the Chablais, the Mont Blanc range, the Swiss peaks and Lake Geneva.

Starting in the abandoned ski resort of Drouzin le Mont in Col du Corbier, this is a moderate mountain climb winding through a forest section & alpine meadows before concluding with a short but challenging craggy rock face. The summit is sheltered by large rocks offering 360 stunning views of Lac Leman to the North and Mont Blanc to the South. It is not for the faint hearted, solo inexperienced or novice if a vertical rock scramble is not your thing, but the rest of hike is far more moderate.

A lovely family walk above Bonneville, a gateway to the Chablais region and this unusual mountain with splendid views in good weather, of course!

Discover two glacial lakes: Lac Noir, nestled in lush greenery, and Lac de la Beunaz, which is also a popular summer leisure destination. This hike follows paths through forests and meadows, as well as small roads with very little traffic. It offers superb panoramic views of Lake Geneva to the north and the surrounding peaks to the south.
