Les Gets walks

A circular route encompassing a stunning ridge hike with views down to the glacial valley of Samoens and Sixt Fer a Cheval whilst overlooked by Mont Blanc.

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.

An easy hike in the hills above Montriond will take you along a forest path to the hamlet of Les Guéritolles, where you can enjoy a superb panoramic view of the villages of Montriond, Morzine and Essert-Romand. Along the way, you will see traditional granaries and alpine chalets while enjoying a magnificent view of the surrounding villages and peaks.

A there and back hike up to Roc de Taveneuse with views across to Abondance. This hike offers a challenging initial forest climb (hard relentless cardio but no rock climbs or cables/supports) but then opens up to mountain pastures with full panoramic shot of Mont Blanc (on a clear day). A further climb brings you to Roc de Tavaneuse with 360 views.

A lovely walk starting from the car park downstream from Lake Montriond. Follow the path along the lake shore and through the forest to reach the superb Ardent waterfall. The surroundings are magnificent. As the site is very popular, it is best to start the walk early in the day.

The wide path that leads to this unexpected lake is very pleasant and easy to walk on. You will quickly enjoy a wide panorama of Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks until you reach a small glacial lake up to 10 m deep. From the lake, I suggest taking the path to Pointe du Haut Fleury. A beautiful view awaits you there, along with two orientation tables.

In the heart of the Chablais region, climb two iconic peaks: the Pointe de Chalune and the Roc d'Enfer. This long and demanding hike is most difficult when crossing the Roc d'Enfer, where there are a few exposed sections that require great caution.

This is a long hike with a significant elevation gain. The effort is rewarded by panoramic views throughout the route.

A long and demanding hike to climb a summit that offers superb views. The first part of the ascent is mainly through forest. The terrain opens up after the Refuge de Folly. The route from Lac des Chambres is very pleasant, in a beautiful high mountain setting.

Set off to explore the village of Saint-Jean-d'Aulps. With its narrow streets and lanes, paths and trails along the river and through the hamlets, you will enjoy the peace and quiet of this family walk. Things to see along the way: Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church, Aulps Abbey, Pont de la Tassonnière bridge, etc. Warning: this route crosses the D902, which is always very dangerous and requires great care.

Starting from the Sommand ski resort, this loop takes you to three peaks in the area: Haute Pointe, Pointe de Chavasse and Pointe de Chalune. The route mainly runs through alpine pastures, offering beautiful views along the way. Caution! Some sections require caution: the route is off-trail and involves steep slopes where you must take care not to slip (see the practical information section).

From La Chèvrerie, I suggest a very pretty circular walk to reach the Point de ChaluneAlong the way, you can discover magnificent landscapes (particularly towards Mont Blanc and the Lake Geneva basin), accompanied by a wonderful variety of flora at the height of the season.

An easy hike from Lindarets, known for its goats and traditional architecture, to the magnificent Brochaux waterfall. The trail winds through the woods and you are lulled by the soothing murmur of a pretty river. As you approach the Cascade des Brochaux, you can hear the gentle murmur of the flowing water. The waterfall, a true natural gem, pours into a natural pool. It is the ideal place for a relaxing break, a picnic in the countryside or simply to enjoy the comforting peace and quiet.

Apart from the first hill at the start this is a mainly flat and low level walk from Samoens to Sixt Fer a Cheval and back taking in the Gorges des Tines. It is a pleasant walk with a lot to see and do.

A superb hike towards Pointe de la Croix. On the agenda: superb views of Roc d'Enfer, Mont Blanc, the Dents du Midi, the Cornettes de Bise, Mont de Grange, Dent d'Oche, Pic de la Corne... It's a summit that has to be earned.

This superb hike offers beautiful views of Saint-Jean-d'Aulps and the Roc d'Enfer. When the sky is clear, you can admire the majestic Mont Blanc in the distance! The climb to La Chaux is on a road suitable for vehicles and through woodland. It is continuous, with no flat areas to stop for a break before reaching your destination. It is best to do it in one go! The view opens up as you walk. Finally, you will enjoy a peaceful grassy area in the sun, with even a picnic table! From there, you can enjoy the view of the surrounding peaks: Roc d'Enfer, Mont Blanc, Pic de la Corne and Roc de Tavaneuse.

A family walk that starts with a peaceful path along the Torrent de Seytroux, known here as the Nant de Seytroux. You will then set off to explore the hamlets of Seytroux and their traditional houses. Don't miss the view of the village centre with the Pic de la Corne in the background from the hamlet of Crêt!

A very pretty walk for everyone in an enchanting setting. The waterfall, made up of several cascades, flows into a multitude of naturally carved rock pools at a place called La Diomaz. At the foot of the waterfall is the Croix des Chartreux, engraved in the rock.

Whether you are an experienced hiker or simply looking for a nature getaway, the grand tour of the Crêtes de Seytroux promises an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the mountain pastures and forests of the Vallée d'Aulps. Be sure to take in the abundant flora along the route, and you may even spot deer or chamois around a bend in the path. A 360° panorama awaits you from the summit of Pointe de la Gay, with breathtaking views of Mont Blanc, Roc d'Enfer and all the surrounding peaks.

A loop trail that takes you to the highest point of the Vallée d'Abondance Chablais, offering exceptional views of the Alps. A fairly wild climb up the Montagne de Pertuis, followed by a more conventional descent via the Crête de Coicon. Caution: near (4), there is a ridge that is a little exposed. You are in a protected area! See the regulations in the practical information section.
