Departure from Montriond (Haute-Savoie)
Follow the river and enjoy a refreshing break during a walk along the banks of the Dranse. The Promenade des Dérèches is a flat, low-mountain trail alongside the river. It is not demanding and is ideal for a short morning jog or simply to relax. All around you, the background music is composed of two sounds: the trickling of the river and the singing of birds. The shelter of the trees and the proximity to the Dranse make for a pleasant walk without getting too hot.
