Mouxy walks

A country walk between Lac du Bourget and the foothills of Le Revard. Along the way, you will discover wash houses, a bread oven, a number of metal crosses perched on stone blocks, the slightly secluded Saint-Maurice Chapel, the old village of Clarafond, etc. And, weather permitting, more distant panoramic views. There are no specific markings, but there are a few mountain bike markers here and there.

Le Revard is a plateau offering magnificent views of both the Northern Alps around Mont Blanc and Lake Bourget at its feet. This circular route climbs from the edge of the old cable car station, ascending the very steep Pas du Rebollion off-trail, then, after a route passing through several bumps on the plateau, descends via the classic Pertuiset trail.Route modified on 3/07/2023 between (6) and (9) to avoid private land, then on 20/10/2025 between (4) and (5) to take into account changes in the equipment.

This circuit takes you to Le Revard via the Chemin de la Crémaillère and back down via the Pas du Rebollion and the Col du Pertuiset. There are a few variations that add extra difficulty to this circuit. This circuit can be done in the opposite direction to the description.

A half-day walk to discover the tourist heritage, a chapel and panoramic views. The yellow-marked route runs below Mont Revard. This circular walk can be practiced in either direction.

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.

A pleasant route on the heights of Le Revard, combining a variety of points of interest. Panoramic view of Aix-les-Bains and the lake, reminiscent of the old cable car and rack railway connections. Poets' trail in summer. Panoramic views, mountain pastures and cheese...

Walk through the forest, sometimes on a trail, sometimes on a forest track, then emerge in the mountain pastures of the Chalets de la Clusaz and reach the sublime viewpoint of the Tour des Ébats, where you can admire Lake Bourget, the Chaîne de l'Épine, the Bauges, the Tournette and, in the distance, Mont Blanc. Then, follow the ridge to reach the highest point of Le Revard, the Tour de l'Angle Est, with its magnificent panorama. Return via the Crémaillére trail.

The Corsuet Forest is criss-crossed, indeed criss-crossed by numerous paths and trails. It is an open space that allows you to escape the urban environment whilst remaining close to the town. The numerous signposts will provide useful guidance for walkers. The route described here is just a modest example of the possibilities offered by the Corsuet Forest. Here, the paths have taken their names from the animal kingdom.

L'Orionde is not the best known or most popular spot on this circuit, but it offers panoramic views to the east and west. The most famous site is, of course, the Croix du Nivolet, which, for once, happens to be on the route. All in all, a beautiful loop with a succession of panoramic views.

This is a family hike that can be enjoyed in any season between two resorts in the Massif des Bauges. With snow, a winter atmosphere is guaranteed, especially if you encounter dog sled teams. In summer, it is a refreshing, shaded route. Moderator's note added on 09/06/2021: as some sections of the route are now private, it is useful to have a map to find alternatives

A family walk taking around two hours there and back, including a visit to the cave. An easier alternative to the existing hike, the Combe aux Moines and the Grotte des Fées, which is a bit long for young children. Starts from the last accessible car park on the Chemin de la Grotte des Fées Following comments, the difficulty has been changed to "Medium", which wasn’t my initial impression as the walk was done with young children. Take particular care on the Chemin du Singe. ⚠️ To reach the car park at the start of the Grotte des Fées, from Aix-Les-Bains, follow the “Chemin du Ponsonnet” to the left of the D48, then turn right onto the “Chemin de la grotte des fées”.

A walk offering a variety of landscapes, points of interest and pleasant views of Lake Bourget.In autumn, you can find chestnuts and mushrooms. 13/05/2026: Start of the modified walk.

A magnificent snowshoe hike offering 360° panoramic views of the Alps, the Épine massif, Chartreuse and Bugey throughout the route, particularly at the Croix du Nivolet... The Croix du Nivolet, the final destination, proudly overlooks Chambéry. The return journey follows the same route, but is always different given the magical landscape in good weather.

This hike takes you along a path through mountain pastures and woods that is quiet at the start, offering magnificent views of the surrounding valleys and mountain ranges. You can visit the cave and waterfalls before reaching the summit of the Nivolet and its cross. If you keep an eye out for the plants along the way, you may be able to spot the rare and protected Martagon lily.

This route is for experienced hikers, as it includes a few topographical challenges and requires a map and compass in addition to a GPS. However, it is also good practice for orientation without any risk, as the road from La Féclaz to Le Revard is never far away.

A circuit from Féclaz to the Nivolet Cross overlooking Chambéry.

A classic loop for a quick walk. This route is well marked in both summer and winter.
