When approaching Semnoz via the Col de Leschaux and Leschaux, park in the large car park at the Semnoz resort at the start of the ski lifts on the Bauges side.
(S/E) Start on the track that leads to the Chalets du Villard at the bottom of the valley, heading north-northeast. At the chalets, head east to join theGRP® Tour du Lac d'Annecy (red and yellow markings).
(1) Turn left onto the track and join the D110 downstream from the Chalet Nordique du Plateau. Follow the road uphill, pass the building and reach a hairpin bend.
(2) Leave the road shortly after the hairpin bend, turning left to reach the Crêt de Châtillon (1,704 m) in a few minutes. At the summit, there are two orientation tables offering a 360° view of the surrounding area.
(3) Descend via the same route you took on the way up.
(2) At the hairpin bend in the road, turn right onto a good path. Pass the Chalets de Leschaux, staying on the path, and reach the place called Le Golet Rond.
(4) Leave the path and turn right onto a trail, staying on the GRP®. The GRP® follows the ridge before descending to the Chalets de Gruffy, where you will find the Refuge du Semnoz.
(5) Before reaching the buildings, leave theGRP® for a path on the left that leads into the mountain pasture and takes you to the mountain chalets of Crêt de l'Aigle.
(6) Continue for a few minutes to reach the summit of Crêt de l'Aigle, which is clearly visible.
(7) After the summit, head north-northeast to reach a small hill.
(8) Descend to the right as you wish on the ski slope, following the Aigle ski lift, and return to the car park, which is clearly visible on the descent (S/E).
