A pleasant and easy hike in the heart of the Bauges Natural Park, mainly through the woods, allowing you to discover the Mariet mountain pastures dotted with pretty chalets and a small lake... a touch of water in a sea of flower-filled meadows.
GPS recommended!
Les Pendants, La Culaz and Les Creusates in a circular loop from Montagny
Large circular loop visiting the areas between Montagne de Bange and the Nordic areas of Saint-François-de-Sales. The ascent is via Mariet dessus to Creux de Lachat, then via the refuge, a climb to Les Pendants and back down via the ridge and its orientation table to Col de la Cochette. Climb back up to La Culaz and take a short detour to discover a curious altar dedicated to a refractory priest and a cross in the middle of the forest, before descending to the Chalet de la Plate and further down to the GR® trail to climb back up to the Tourbière des Creusates and the Croix des Bergers. The return journey is still long through the forest and then down the seemingly endless descent from La Plate to Montagny.A varied route between forests and mountain pastures, don't overlook the number of ascents and descents, but the views are well worth the effort.
Le creux de Lachat via Le Mariet
A snowshoe hike enhanced by a stop at the Creux de Lachat refuge. It's always an opportunity to meet someone, even if it's just the caretaker.
Panoramic views of Les Bauges and, further away, Les Aravis and Mont Blanc.
Circuit around the Col de la Cochette and the Altar of the Priest in Arith
This loop allows you to discover the north-eastern tip of the Plateau du Revard.
The gentle, rolling terrain offers views of the Bauges mountains, Lake Bourget and, at the highest point, a more extensive view of the Alps and Mont Blanc.
A short detour to the Autel du Curé will take you in the footsteps of the Revolutionary Terror in Savoie.
Mont Julioz from Le Châtelard

This summit (1,645 m) is little known in Les Bauges. The route is partly aerial and off-trail, requiring you to tackle a few rocks without too much difficulty. The summit offers views of Les Bauges, La Tournette, Lake Annecy, Mont Blanc and more.
The Saint-Jacques Towers loop
The Saint-Jacques Towers are a group of three monoliths that have broken away from the cliff and continue to slide 2 to 3 cm per year.
The suggested route allows you to see them from different angles, from above and below.
Along the way, note the paved road and the massive log barns.
