On the way back through the forest, there are other viewpoints over the Savoyard countryside. Finally, the descent to Bourdeau also offers some sought-after views.
19/09/2023 Message from the moderator: the section between (2) and (3) is very steep and slippery on the way up and requires a good level of fitness for around 500 m. Some sections between (8) and (9) are also slippery on the way down. This route should be attempted in dry weather. Not recommended for young children.
From Col du Chat to Petit Villard
A lovely little walk with lots of views of the lake. Much of the route is in the forest, making this hike ideal on a hot day.
The Dent du Chat and the Roc de Cornillon
This is a lovely half-day hike with beautiful views of Lac Du Bourget, Aix-Les-Bains and the Chambérien basin, the Belledonne massif and Mont Blanc on one side, and the Savoyard foothills (Yenne, Belley, Grand Colombier) on the other.
Please note: Those who are afraid of heights may be affected by some technical sections equipped with cables or ladders.
