Saint-Offenge-Dessous walks

These two easy loops form a figure of 8, on low-traffic roads, tracks and paths through fields and woods. They offer beautiful views of the Clergeon, the Bauges mountains, the Semnoz and even Lake Bourget. They also pass through the villages of Saint-Ours and Chainaz-Les-Frasses, offering views of the Château de Fésigny.

Right from the start, there is a steep climb from Cusy to reach the Chalet du Trousset. The route then mostly follows beautiful trails and paths through the woods, offering lovely views in places. The Visorando app is highly recommended.

From the footbridge at Cusy, take the right bank up the Chéran gorges and the left bank down after crossing the spectacular "Pont de l'Abîme". This well-maintained itinerary allows you to discover the wildest part of one of Europe's last natural rivers.

This loop allows you to discover the north-eastern tip of the Plateau du Revard. The gentle, rolling terrain offers views of the Bauges mountains, Lake Bourget and, at the highest point, a more extensive view of the Alps and Mont Blanc. A short detour to the Autel du Curé will take you in the footsteps of the Revolutionary Terror in Savoie.

A short family walk that leads to a beautiful view from the Croix des Bergers. No problem for children in good weather, of course. Allow 2½ hours for the round trip.

The Saint-Jacques Towers are a group of three monoliths that have broken away from the cliff and continue to slide 2 to 3 cm per year. The suggested route allows you to see them from different angles, from above and below. Along the way, note the paved road and the massive log barns.

A pleasant route on the heights of Le Revard, combining a variety of points of interest. Panoramic view of Aix-les-Bains and the lake, reminiscent of the old cable car and rack railway connections. Poets' trail in summer. Panoramic views, mountain pastures and cheese...

From the spectacular canyon at the Pont du Diable, this hike takes you to the sawmills, one of which has been restored by local heritage enthusiasts. The return route takes you through the pretty village of Bellecombe-en-Bauges

A family walk with a return trip taking around two hours, including a visit to the cave. A simpler version of the existing hike, the Combe aux Moines and the Grotte des Fées, which is a little long for young children. Departure from the last car park accessible from the Chemin de la Grotte des Fées Following comments, the difficulty has been changed to "Medium", which was not my initial perception as I did the walk with young children. Be careful on the monkey trail in particular

An easy walk offering a variety of landscapes, points of interest and pleasant views of Lake Bourget. In autumn, you can find chestnuts and mushrooms.

This is a hike with magnificent views of Lake Bourget, the Chat Mountains, the Chartreuse Mountains, as well as the Albanais and Bauges regions, on a well-maintained path.

A beautiful, easy hike on the Semnoz plateau. Numerous panoramic views throughout the hike.

L'Orionde is not the best known or most popular spot on this circuit, but it offers panoramic views to the east and west. The most famous site is, of course, the Croix du Nivolet, which, for once, happens to be on the route. All in all, a beautiful loop with a succession of panoramic views.

A classic loop for a quick walk. This route is well marked in both summer and winter.

A circuit from Féclaz to the Nivolet Cross overlooking Chambéry.
