The Mont Revard circular via Golet de la Pierre and La Crémaillère
A beautiful circular on one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Bauges massif: a particularly steep but effective climb through the forest to emerge at the steep and more aerial Golet de la Pierre, a steady descent via the old rack railway line to Crémaillère, allowing you to discover the remains of this heritage structure; between the two, the ridge trail from Le Revard to the Tour de l'Angle Est offers a variety of views.

All in all, a beautiful loop with a succession of panoramic views.
La Féclaz le Revard round trip
This is a family hike that can be enjoyed in any season between two resorts in the Massif des Bauges.

The Fairy Cave from Brison-Saint-Innocent
A family walk with a return trip taking around two hours, including a visit to the cave. A simpler version of the existing hike, the Combe aux Moines and the Grotte des Fées, which is a little long for young children. Departure from the last car park accessible from the Chemin de la Grotte des Fées
Following comments, the difficulty has been changed to "Medium", which was not my initial perception as I did the walk with young children. Be careful on the monkey trail in particular

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.
