A beautiful circular route around La Clusaz that allows you to discover the nearby mountain pastures. The first part takes place in the forest: ideal in summer because it is shaded, and in autumn because it is exposed to the sun's rays. At the edge of the forest, the view of the valley is breathtaking, with beautiful panoramas of Les Aravis and the village of La Clusaz.

Short, easy route to discover the beautiful village of La Clusaz from different perspectives. Follow the signs for the “Tour du Village".

The Tête du Danay circular via the pretty Bois du Rosay, the Auberge du Daney-d'en-Haut, then back via Frête and Bois de la Pézerette. Views of Les Confins, Les Aravis and the Grand Bornand valley.

A great pointy summit with a cross on top and good views followed by a descent of Borderan Combe. This could easily be done in reverse and/or without the use of the cable cars.

At the foot of the slender peaks of the Aravis, a family hike partly through mountain pastures and partly through forest. Two lakes, one natural and one artificial, await you.

This hike offers several different views of the mountains. The climb is gradual and takes you through alpine pastures. The descent is mainly through forest. There are some beautiful views, particularly of the Aravis mountain range, Mont Blanc and La Tournette.

A beautiful hike offering 360° views of the Aravis, Lake Annecy and the Glières Plateau.

The Tête du Danay offers a magnificent 360° view of the Aravis massif and the Bornes overlooking Le Grand-Bornand.

A great walk for the family. You can choose between going to the lake and back or going right up to the top. The latter is easier than it looks and is actually less steep than the ascent to the lake.You will be rewarded with magnificent views.

This is a short, easy loop with beautiful views of Le Grand Bornand, Mont Lachat, the Combes des Aravis and the Balme and Fernuy slopes, as well as Lac des Confins on the way back. There is a possible variation to the Tête du Danay.

This is a fairly easy short loop for families, stopping at the Croix de Fer for a superb view of Mont Blanc and the surrounding mountains.

An easy hike offering magnificent panoramic views of the entire Mont Blanc range. The mountain range gradually reveals itself as you hike along a road that is passable by vehicle throughout. If you go as far as Stallets, you will have an extraordinary 180° view of the Northern Alps. It is also possible to stop at the Chalet du Curé, which already offers a commanding view, or at Boegneuve. This hike is completely exposed, so we recommend doing it in autumn or late summer, or during the cooler hours of the day in summer.

This balcony route offers beautiful views of the Aravis mountain range, La Giettaz and the Arrondine valley, all facing Mont Blanc.

This is a circular that takes you off the beaten track. To escape the tourist crowds that flock to the valleys in the summer, take the route to a little-visited summit, which is as high as you could wish for and will take you along one of the most beautiful ridges in the area. The route requires sure-footedness, determination and a little bit of flair to enjoy it. Thishike is reserved for experienced hikers; see reviews.

A superb hike that begins in a valley in the Aravis mountain range and ends with a breathtaking finale and a 360° panorama of the Northern Alps.

A steep walk to a natural rock arch, the Trou de la Mouche (Fly Hole). The section up to the Trou is steep and loose in places, the initial descent is also steep but soon eases off. This route, although shown on IGN maps, is not marked with paint flashes. Signposts at the start of the route make this clear so make sure you have a map and compass. The walk is best done in the direction described, and best done a clear, dry day.

This is a classic destination in the Combes des Aravis, allowing you to visit two pretty combes linked by a remarkable natural curiosity.

A superb walk that culminates at Tardevant, passing through two valleys with very contrasting landscapes. The most exceptional is the Grande Forclaz. The Tardevant valley is more classic. Caution: the passage between the two valleys is exposed and, although not particularly difficult, is reserved for experienced hikers. Avoid in bad weather or when the ground is wet.

Half-day route on a scenic path with beautiful views of the Aravis mountain range.
