La Biolle walks

This route, starting from Villette in the commune of La Biolle, offers magnificent panoramic views of the Bauges Massif during the climb and a 360° view from the new Croix de Meyrieu (Lake Bourget, Aix-les-Bains and the surrounding mountains). The return journey is via a little-used and unmarked path, but with the Visorando app, there's no need to worry.

This walk allows you to explore the hamlets around Saint-Germain-la-Chambotte through woods and meadows and offers beautiful panoramic views.

This walk takes you on a circular route through the hamlets of the Hauts d’Albens. Beautiful views over the Albanais, the Semnoz, and the Bange and Revard mountains. In Dressy, you can see an old bread oven and an ox shoeing bench.

This is a hike with magnificent views of Lake Bourget, the Chat Mountains, the Chartreuse Mountains, as well as the Albanais and Bauges regions, on a well-maintained path.

A lovely walk exploring the Crosagny marshes, the bread ovens and the footpaths on the hills above Albens. A walk with no particular difficulties apart from the distance.

This loop starts in Brison and climbs to the Croix de Meyrieu, then follows the ridge line to La Chambotte and returns to the starting point via a path through old vineyards. This walk offers numerous views of Lake Bourget.

A hike mainly through woodland with beautiful views of Lac du Bourget.

A family walk taking around two hours there and back, including a visit to the cave. An easier alternative to the existing hike, the Combe aux Moines and the Grotte des Fées, which is a bit long for young children. Starts from the last accessible car park on the Chemin de la Grotte des Fées Following comments, the difficulty has been changed to "Medium", which wasn’t my initial impression as the walk was done with young children. Take particular care on the Chemin du Singe. ⚠️ To reach the car park at the start of the Grotte des Fées, from Aix-Les-Bains, follow the “Chemin du Ponsonnet” to the left of the D48, then turn right onto the “Chemin de la grotte des fées”.

This hike takes you to the summit of Mont Laval and then follows a circular route via the Tours de César to return via the Col de la Chambotte. Beautiful views of Lac du Bourget and the surrounding mountains.

Les Tours de César offers a variety of routes suitable for all seasons. The circular route follows the cliffs of Mont Laval as closely as possible: at the foot of the cliffs on the way out, along the edge of their summit on the way back.

A loop above lake Bourget for a late afternoon walk. A walk amid historical sites and beautiful viewpoints.

A walk offering a variety of landscapes, points of interest and pleasant views of Lake Bourget.In autumn, you can find chestnuts and mushrooms. 13/05/2026: Start of the modified walk.

This walk is a circular route starting at Notre-Dame de la Salette (Cessens) and ending at La Chambotte. It passes by the Tours de César and the castle ruins before descending towards the hamlet of La Chambotte, following the ridge.

This is an unmarked and little-used route that is best taken in the middle of winter if you want to have enough snow, as the altitude remains modest (between 800 and 950 metres). The views of Lake Bourget are magnificent. In summer, it is possible to follow a marked route called "le tour de la montagne du Sapenay" (the Sapenay mountain tour), which does not, however, take the section directly overlooking the lake.

A short walk on the Cessens mountain, with views of the lake and the Bugey.
