Departure from Thônes (Haute-Savoie)
A beautiful but long hike with magnificent views of the Aravis range, the Glières plateau, Mont Lachat, La Tournette, and Mont Blanc in the background. The climb to the Col de l’Ovine is challenging as it is long and steep, but the view is well worth the effort. The rest of the hike is gentle, apart from a short climb on the path after La Rosière. This forest path has a few steep sections. Signposts are placed at all junctions.
