Habère-Poche walks

Short, easy hike in the shade (nice in summer). The ground is wet even if it has not rained for several days, so good footwear is recommended.

A magnificent snowshoe hike in the heart of the Vallée Verte. The cold (-14°C at the start!), the snow and the sumptuous landscapes were all there.

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.

A lovely little walk, ideal for beginners and those preparing for medium-altitude hiking.

Mont Forchat offers a superb 360° panorama, including a sweeping view of Lake Geneva. This hike takes you up the mountain, starting in the forest and then continuing to the beautiful Trécoud mountain pasture. Several variations are possible.

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.

Hike above La Chèvrerie to reach Pointe de la Gay and discover the mountain pastures. View of the surrounding mountains.

Hike around Vallon Lake, part of the Chablais Geopark. You will be facing Roc d'Enfer and above Vallon Lake with a view of the Chèvrerie valley. You will discover the small authentic village of La Chèvrerie and the Chapel of Saint-Bruno and enjoy the lake's shores.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An isolated peak rising to an altitude of nearly 1,900 metres, Mont Billiat offers a splendid 360° panorama and is a lovely hiking destination. Throughout the ascent, there is an extensive view of Lake Geneva. The (optional) ascent of the Grande Pointe des Journées is a challenging addition reserved for experienced hikers.

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.

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.

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.

A lovely "lasso loop" hike in the Brevon Valley, starting from Pont de la Joux. The trail is accessible all year round.

This short tour of the Crêtes de Seytroux will allow you to discover the authentic landscapes of the Chablais: mountain pastures, Tarine and Abondance cows grazing, traditional chalets... not to mention the breathtaking view of the highest peaks in the valley.

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.

An easy hike for a walk at the foot of the Roc d'Enfer massif. Walking along the little Brevon river, you will discover the mountain pastures of Finge, Favières and Lajoux. A large part of the route is through forest.

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.

Starting from the Sommand ski resort, this loop offers access to three peaks in the area: Haute Pointe, Pointe de Chavasse and Pointe de Chalune. This route mainly takes you through alpine pastures, offering beautiful views along the way. Please note! 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). Please note that during the summer months (July to September), the route crosses pastoral land where there may be flocks of sheep and sheepdogs (see the practical information section).

A very beautiful circular offering a variety of landscapes. At Col des Charmettes and Col de Chavannais, you can enjoy extensive views of the Chablais. This route is surrounded by numerous peaks that appear as you hike: Haute Pointe, Pointe de Chavasse, Pointe de Chalune. At Col de Vésinaz, a panorama of the Mont Blanc massif awaits you.

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.

In the heart of the Chablais region, climb two iconic peaks: the Pointe de Chalune and the Roc d'Enfer. This long and demanding hike is most difficult when crossing the Roc d'Enfer, where there are a few exposed sections that require great caution.

A must-do and very popular hike in the Sommand area. Located at over 2,000 m, the Pointe de Chalune is accessible and does not present any particular difficulty. However, don't underestimate the 578 m climb to reach the summit, a small plateau topped by a cairn, where you can enjoy a 360° panorama.

This is an interesting circular loop that crosses the Pointes de Chavasse and then Chalune, with extensive views of the Northern Alps along the way. The elevation gain is not very significant, but the climbs are steep, particularly the one up the West Couloir of Pointe de Chavasse, which alone justifies the "very difficult" rating.

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.
