Saint-Jean-d'Arvey walks

This is a pleasant route to walk at any time of year, particularly in late autumn as it enjoys plenty of sunshine. The route of the Himalayan footbridge at Trou de l'Enfer allows you to discover the curious meanders of the Leysse.

This hike is quite physically demanding in the first part. The section along the Doria is really very pleasant. At the summit, you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of Belledonne and Chartreuse. The fairly long descent is not particularly difficult.

A short walk above the town to meet distant artists. Panorama of the valley and the Chartreuse massif opposite.

A beautiful walk along the Leysse gorges and through the old vineyards of Saint-Jean-d'Arvey. The trail, while not particularly difficult, can be a little steep and slippery. It offers superb views of the Leysse and the cliffs of Mont Peney.

The Mont Saint-Michel Chapel, which is clearly visible from the Chambéry basin, is often the destination for a Sunday afternoon walk starting from Montmerlet above Curienne. There is only a hundred metres or so of elevation gain. The trail is very well marked.

A varied hike that takes you to the Croix de Nivolet from an unusual angle.

Admittedly, this route from Curienne is not the shortest way to reach the Chapel of Mont Saint-Michel! However, it offers the opportunity to (re)discover the very pleasant Chemin de la Paraie, the stele and farm of the Maquisards, the motte castrale of La Bognette, and superb views of Chambéry and the surrounding mountains. Although technically easy and with little elevation gain, this hike is classified as "moderate" due to its length.

A beautiful hike to the Croix du Nivolet. A very varied and enjoyable route throughout.

A local classic with magnificent views of the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park, the Belledonne massif and the town of Chambéry.Ideal for hot days, the route is 90% shaded. However, it is not suitable for wet weather.

A walk to revisit the classics near Chambéry.

It is almost a suburban walk, not too busy during the week. And yet you are already in the Bauges with its characteristic buildings. From the start to the waterfall, you are on theGR®96. Then, from the pass to the ridge trail via Mont Peney, you are on the GRP®.

Discover this magnificent route on the outskirts of Chambéry. Passing by the Ternèse stream (canyon) and the Trou de l'Enfer site where the Leysse river has carved its way through, this hike offers a complete change of scenery in a wild environment.

A long and beautiful hike full of possibilities on the plateau, with alternative routes to suit all tastes, but always staying on the trails, as the Margeriaz is very rugged. Access, via the same ascent route, can be gained via the Goulet de l'Agneau, which is equipped.

This hike is less popular than the nearby Pointe de la Galoppaz, an iconic peak in the Chambéry region. However, it is just as interesting thanks to the variety of landscapes it crosses (forests, meadows, groves, rocks, etc.) and the superb panorama of the surrounding mountains (Mont Blanc, Belledonne, Beaufortain, Bauges, Chartreuse), the Chambéry cluse and Lake Thuile.

A must-do hike for locals, this short trip to the Dent du Nivolet offers a beautiful 360° panorama of Lac du Bourget, Chartreuse, Belledonne, Beaufortain and Mont Blanc.

A pleasant hike on the western flank of Mont Nivolet. The route winds its way through the Passage du Croc to cross the cliff and reach Le Sire. Beautiful panorama of the region. The Sentier du Garde was part of the network of trails that criss-crossed the mountainside, allowing forest rangers to travel through the mountainous terrain.

Coche or Cochette means a passage. The ancestral passage between the villages of Montagnole and Saint-Baldoph is marked by a solid, massive stone cross. Information panels along the way. Panoramic views at the summit and on the descent along the ridge.

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.
