Departure from Aillon-le-Vieux (Savoie)
The Margériaz mountain is equipped for downhill skiing. However, its ridges are accessible on snowshoes, offering a pleasant route that partly bypasses the snow stadium and provides magnificent views. The open terrain allows for a unique approach by moonlight.

Departure from Les Déserts (Savoie)
A short but very interesting hike featuring a continuous steep slope and no easy sections. Undertaken in late October: ice and light snow in the chimney and freezing fog at the summit. Exit the forest to the foot of the cliff and walk up an unstable scree slope. Passage across the cliff is well-cabled and sheathed in plastic (slippery grip with gloves but very comfortable bare-handed in summer). Hike not recommended for young children.

Departure from Thoiry (Savoie) (Savoie)
A long and beautiful hike full of possibilities on the plateau, with alternative routes to suit all tastes, but always staying on the trails, as the Margeriaz is very rugged. Access, via the same ascent route, can be gained via the Goulet de l'Agneau, which is equipped.
