From Chambéry, take the D912 to the Col du Granier. Park at the pass at an altitude of 1,134 m. Information boards and signposts at the pass.
(S/E) From the pass, take the wide path almost opposite the bar-restaurant and follow it for 1 km to reach a junction at an altitude of approximately 1,200 m.
(1) Leave the path that leads to the barns of Joigny and take the path on the right that leads to Mont Joigny. There is 1.8 km to go and a 350 m climb. If you haven't already done so, now is the time to put on your snowshoes, as the path climbs steeply to the ridge line (altitude 1,490 m).
(2) Continue by turning left onto the gently undulating path to the summit, which is now only 700m away. Along the way, there are beautiful views of Les Bauges and the Combe de Savoie.
(3) At the summit (1553m), there is a cross and a panoramic view of the Chartreuse mountains, including the famous Mont Granier.
Return to the starting point via the same route (S/E.) or complete a circular route via the Col de la Gorgeat and the barns of Joigny if and only if snow conditions allow, which was not the case on 13/12/2012.
