Saint-Jean-de-Sixt walks

The Tête du Danay circular via the pretty Bois du Rosay, the Auberge du Daney-d'en-Haut, then back via Frête and Bois de la Pézerette. Views of Les Confins, Les Aravis and the Grand Bornand valley.

This is a pleasant, easy circular, except for a few steep slopes. It follows forest paths and alpine pastures, with some stony sections. The reward is at the top, where you can enjoy a 360° view: a perfect view of the Aravis and all the snow-capped mountains beyond.

A beautiful hike offering 360° views of the Aravis, Lake Annecy and the Glières Plateau.

A beautiful circular route around La Clusaz that allows you to discover the nearby mountain pastures. The first part takes place in the forest: ideal in summer because it is shaded, and in autumn because it is exposed to the sun's rays. At the edge of the forest, the view of the valley is breathtaking, with beautiful panoramas of Les Aravis and the village of La Clusaz.

This hike is interesting in both summer and winter. On snowshoes after a good snowfall, on a beautiful sunny day, the forest passages offer opportunities for beautiful photos.

Atteindre le Plateau de Beauregard par un itinéraire plus sauvage et moins fréquenté offrant des vues sur la Chaîne des Aravis et le Mont Lachat. De la Pointe de Beauregard à la Croix de Colomban, profitez de points de vue panoramiques.

Short, easy route to discover the beautiful village of La Clusaz from different perspectives. Follow the signs for the “Tour du Village".

A pleasant short hike to discover Le Grand-Bornand with beautiful views of the Aravis mountain range and Plan de la Forclaz. Return via the educational trail.

At the foot of the slender peaks of the Aravis, a family hike partly through mountain pastures and partly through forest. Two lakes, one natural and one artificial, await you.

Half-day route on a scenic path with beautiful views of the Aravis mountain range.

A great pointy summit with a cross on top and good views followed by a descent of Borderan Combe. This could easily be done in reverse and/or without the use of the cable cars.

There is an alternative route to the "classic" route to Lac de Lessy, which is much less frequented. No particular difficulties (no ladders).

This hike offers several different views of the mountains. The climb is gradual and takes you through alpine pastures. The descent is mainly through forest. There are some beautiful views, particularly of the Aravis mountain range, Mont Blanc and La Tournette.

This hike alternates between two distinct parts: the first is marked by human traces, as it explores the Grand Bornand ski area on very "rolling" paths, while the second is very exotic, exploring the south-facing slope of Mont Lachat, facing Lac des Confins and the Aravis massif. The landscapes and profile of this hike thus offer two completely different worlds and breathtaking views of the Grand Bo Valley massifs (Pic du Jallouvre, Aiguille Verte, Pointe Blanche), then the Aravis mountain range (Pointe Percée, Confins, Danay) and, in the distance, Montagne des Auges. The ascent is very steady, which is particularly pleasant! Beautiful panoramas alternate between civilisation and the calm of the mountains!

The Lac de Lessy, located in a valley at the foot of the Jallouvre, Buclon and Aiguille Verte mountains, is well worth a visit. The route takes you up and down hills, offering magnificent panoramic views.

A short and easy walk around the informative trail about the formation of marshland and the different fauna and flora found there, followed by a visit to the monument erected to the resistance fighters who were based at the Plateau des Glieres in the latter part of WWII. The way back follows part of the historic trail and passes the place where equipment drops were housed and the site of the infirmary.

This loop crosses La Roche Parnal and the Sous Dîne mountain. The hike passes through alpine pastures, cools off in the forest and crosses a few rocky passages, but without difficulty. You will encounter ibex, but above all, you will have a 360° panorama almost the entire time, stretching from the Jura to the Aravis and Mont Blanc ranges. However, this is a demanding route due to its length and elevation gain, although there are no technical difficulties. You can also choose to walk in the opposite direction to the one suggested here. (!) Please read the paragraphs (5): poorly visible trail and (6) cliffs, cables, ridges, ladder, rocky outcrops.
