A lovely alternative for a walk in the mid-mountains on hot days, as it is partly shaded, not to mention the many panoramic views on various slopes.

Hike to the summit of the Aravis range. This popular summit, situated on the GRP® Massif de Tournette-Aravis, offers a magnificent 360° panorama of all the surrounding mountain ranges and peaks.
Although it does not require mountaineering equipment, the hike is rated TD as it requires a good sense of direction and features generally steep slopes, exposed sections, scree crossings and numerous sections where you need to use your hands.

The Aravis valleys are among the classic hiking destinations in Haute-Savoie. Pointe Chombas is a little less well known. Here is a circular route through pastures, forests and rocky areas. Some sections can be dizzying, others involve a bit of climbing but are not difficult. The reward is a little-visited summit offering panoramic views of the Alps, the Jura and, of course, the Mont Blanc range in the foreground.
(!) Please note: some parts of the route are challenging.

If you enjoy the karstic atmosphere of sharp limestone pavement, don't hesitate to undertake this fairly short hike, which offers beautiful scenery throughout. The first half follows paths, but the second half is off-trail. Choose your route carefully and don't be afraid of rocks. As a result, it takes longer than the elevation gain would suggest (3 hours of climbing).
This route is strongly discouraged in poor visibility, especially for the off-trail section.
