Departure from Rochers de Naye by rack railway with overnight stay in a bivouac just above Pertuis d'Aveneyre. The route largely follows the Via Alpina trail. Some paths are narrow, so caution is advised for those prone to vertigo.

Other walks in the area
Rochers de Naye from the Col de Chaude
Les Rochers de Naye overlook Lake Geneva from a height of nearly 1,700m and offer a magnificent panorama of the lake and the neighbouring Alpine peaks. This hike offers a shorter and less exposed ascent than the more common route starting from the Col de Jaman.
Pointe d'Aveneyre
Far less frequented than the neighbouring Rochers de Naye, the Pointe d'Aveneyre offers a magnificent panorama of Lake Geneva, the Vaud Alps and the Fribourg Alps, as well as the peaks of the Chablais.
Cape au Moine from Col de Jaman
A short hike, mostly along the mountainside, ending with a ridge that requires caution. From the summit, superb panorama, especially of Lake Geneva, which is only five kilometres away and which you overlook from a height of nearly 1,600 metres.
La Cergniaulaz, Le Molard and Le Folly
A magnificent hike starting from the Auberge de la Cergniaulaz restaurant with free parking. Accessible in summer with the chance to see fields full of daffodils in early May, and in winter on snowshoes or touring skis. It's quite a climb at the start, but the surrounding mountain scenery and the beauty of the forests and wildlife make you forget the effort. The view of the lake on the descent from the summit of Folly is breathtaking, and if you're there around August, you can refuel with thousands of wild blueberries on the way down from Molard. The Cergniaulaz restaurant offers semi-gourmet dishes but is very hiker-friendly, and you can also enjoy some typical dishes such as planchette, fondue or rösti. Their tart of the day was to die for.
Cape au Moine circular via Soladier and Jaman
Starting from La Cergniaulaz towards Le Molard, this is a beautiful route that runs along the peaks of Cape au Moine. It can be extended via La Pierra Perchia (to be avoided in bad weather) and descends via the Col de Jaman and La Planiaz.
Along the shores of Lake Geneva from Villeneuve to Montreux.
A pleasant walk along the "Riviera of Lake Geneva", with superb panoramic views of the lake and surrounding peaks, the grand residences of Montreux and the famous Château de Chillon. This walk is proposed as a one-way trip with the option of returning either by boat or on foot.
Crossing the Pléiades from Blonay
A classic destination in the region offering magnificent views of Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains. The route is particularly recommended in spring and autumn. In summer, this largely shaded route limits excessive exposure to the sun. The hike is ideal for family activities, including a visit to the AstroPléiades educational site.
Dent de Lys
The Dent de Lys is a summit that lives up to the elegance of its name and offers superb panoramic views! Its ascent includes steep and exposed sections that make it suitable only for experienced hikers.
