Tête Noire, Tête Ronde and Tête de l'Arpettaz: three peaks overlooking the southern end of the Glières Plateau. The hike takes you through a fairly wild and unfrequented part of the peaks surrounding the famous historic plateau. Magnificent 360° view.

Departure from La Balme-de-Thuy (Haute-Savoie)
It is a varied hike, part of which takes place through woodland, whilst another section crosses a large cliff face – the Passage de la Bourse – and, after passing through the Ablon mountain pasture, the final stretch leads to a breathtaking panorama, which one would never have suspected during the long ascent. From Lake Geneva to Mont Blanc, from the Chablais to the Bauges and from the Aravis to the Grand Combin, nothing will escape your view.Please read the practical information and the safety warning regarding the Passage de la Bourse carefully.

Departure from Thorens-Glières (Haute-Savoie)
Starting from the Fillière Valley, I suggest a lovely circular trail to the south-west of the Glières Plateau, through sometimes wild surroundings, with some beautiful views along the way: the trail leads successively to three peaks (Tête Noire, Tête Ronde and Tête d'Arpettaz), then after a short passage through the Gorge d'Ablon, it joins the Mont Téret sector via the Croix du Bénitier.Please note that a little caution is required on the few sections of sharp limestone pavement you will cross.

In the commune of Glières-Val-de-Borne, in the Bargy massif, Lac de Lessy is a true gem at the foot of the Pic de Jalouvre. The walk takes you through forests and mountain pastures. It features a short rocky section. The start from La Joux and the return via Montagne de Paradis and Cocogne are what make this walk unique. You pass the two-hundred-year-old hamlet of Les Chalets de Mayse. The Chalet de Lessy is nestled on the lakeside after the Col de la Forclaz.
