Mont Peney walks

This hike is quite physically demanding in the first part. The section along the Doria is really very pleasant. At the summit, you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of Belledonne and Chartreuse. The fairly long descent is not particularly difficult.

This hike is for the fittest and most experienced walkers! You’ll need to be up for a long distance, tackling significant elevation gain, and navigating a few technical sections – some of which are off-track! You’ll be rewarded with superb views of Lake Bourget, the Croix du Nivolet, the Chambéry basin, the ‘Arche Improbable’ and the Doriaz, amongst others. Please note thatthe section leading to the ‘Arche Improbable’ requires you to find your way under a rocky outcrop, in an area with no marked trail, including a section where you’ll need to use your hands and do a bit of scrambling before emerging onto Mont Peney.

Mont Peney offers a magnificent view of the Combe de Savoie and Chambéry. The walk along the cliffs is impressive. However, caution is advised, especially if you are accompanied by young children. On the Les Déserts side, on the return journey, the Margériaz mountain is also a highlight of this walk.
