Le Fort du Mont au départ de Tours en Savoie

Une belle randonnée, assez sportive, avec un cheminement en forêt avec tout le long de la randonnée de magnifiques points de vue sur la vallée, des traversées de petit hameaux, des chalets perdus au milieu des bois et arrivée au point culminant qui est le Fort du Mont .

Description of the walk

Starting point: Le Désert in Tours-en-Savoie, car park under the storage area.

(6) Follow the path uphill to the right to reach the ramparts of the fort.

(7) Follow the path on the right below the ramparts that goes around the fort and arrive at the entrance. Continue around the fort and return to the entrance to the village of Le Mont.

(9) Follow the road on your left, then the track that leads to Lacha and pass the chalet (old sawmill). Continue along the track, passing the woodpiles and a reservoir. Ignore the track on your left and continue until you reach the path on the left with a sign for Palatieux les Déberts.

(10) Continue left along this path to reach a crossroads.

(11) Follow the path downhill to the right of Palatieux and you will reach the Muradoran crossroads after the chalets.

(12) Turn left towards Saforin, follow the path and return to the crossroads you passed on the way there.

(3) Then follow the route in reverse to reach the bottom of the descent at an intersection you passed on the way there.

(13) Descend towards the dyke, cross the track next to the power station, continue along the dyke and return to the starting point (S/E).

Classic Mont Fort route via Conflans that day due to snow in the woods on the reverse side... to be redone in full in the right season (otherwise well explained...)
