A short detour to the Autel du Curé will take you in the footsteps of the Revolutionary Terror in Savoie.
Le creux de Lachat via Le Mariet
A snowshoe hike enhanced by a stop at the Creux de Lachat refuge. It's always an opportunity to meet someone, even if it's just the caretaker.
Panoramic views of Les Bauges and, further away, Les Aravis and Mont Blanc.
Col de la Cochette and Château de Larron
Route from Saint-Offenge-Dessus via the Col de la Cochette and Château de Larron
An easy hike, mostly through woodland, with a short stretch across mountain pastures.
Les Pendants, La Culaz and Les Creusates in a circular loop from Montagny
Large circular loop visiting the areas between Montagne de Bange and the Nordic areas of Saint-François-de-Sales. The ascent is via Mariet dessus to Creux de Lachat, then via the refuge, a climb to Les Pendants and back down via the ridge and its orientation table to Col de la Cochette. Climb back up to La Culaz and take a short detour to discover a curious altar dedicated to a refractory priest and a cross in the middle of the forest, before descending to the Chalet de la Plate and further down to the GR® trail to climb back up to the Tourbière des Creusates and the Croix des Bergers. The return journey is still long through the forest and then down the seemingly endless descent from La Plate to Montagny.A varied route between forests and mountain pastures, don't overlook the number of ascents and descents, but the views are well worth the effort.
