A beautiful hike, pleasant and refreshing in summer.
Please note that the route varies depending on the season: some sections are closed to the public and well marked, which can add 2-3 km to the route.

A pleasant route through the woods. We stopped at the Reval farms for a snack and then turned back. The snow conditions were good for snowshoeing, and there were lots of people out in the afternoon. The sky was overcast all day. (8.8 km for a first snowshoeing outing).

It is more interesting to do this circular hike by crossing the forest plateau used in winter by cross-country skiers, then joining the GR at the Revard farms and, on the way back, after the Col du Pertuis, climbing up to Orionde and descending either directly to La Féclaz or to La Féclaz via Le Sire and the chalets of Le Sire.

However, this route is poorly marked and you need to be familiar with the IGN map of the Bauges massif, where not all the trails are indicated.

This route through the forest has multiple trailheads, so you must pay attention to the markings to avoid getting lost. The route crosses private property, which is clearly marked.

A nice little hike, but there's a problem at the Pertuiset pass: the Visorando trail heads off to the right, where the barrier is closed to all users, while the directional signs for Le Revard point to the left (alternative route), which adds a lot of kilometres and elevation gain, as you have to descend below the rocky ridge and climb back up the other side. We came across a group who were turning back, so we returned to the pass to cross the closed barrier and finally set off on the right path. Perhaps the barrier is open in winter for snowshoeing? ( There are no other paths.)

Beautiful hike, but on the way back, the markings on the ground were a bit faint

Hike completed in mixed weather conditions, with part of the route in fog.
We were unable to enjoy the views.
Route followed using the Visorando app; several restrictions prevent you from following the route planned on the app. You therefore have to improvise
use other paths that lead to Le Revard. This wasn't too difficult as the direction to "Mont Revard" is almost always signposted.

Beautiful hike in the forest, not much snow for snowshoes, so we put on forest crampons because there were icy patches. When we arrived at the barns, it was very windy for the climb up to Revard, but overall it was a beautiful, peaceful hike without any difficulties.

One thing to add: take a detour to the Pertuiset Pass to enjoy the panoramic view and the small chasm: it's an extra quarter of an hour.
a pleasant walk for the whole family

A beautiful, easy hike. Very pretty view of Lake Bourget. This hike can be done in any season: in autumn, the colours of the trees are magnificent; in winter, the snowshoe route is very pleasant; and in summer, the route is well shaded.
