Tête des Annes walks
Gramusset refuge
An easy ridge leads to the Refuge Gramusset, offering magnificent views of the valleys on the Grand Bornand and Reposoir sides, as well as the Aravis mountain range and Pointe Percée with its sharp limestone pavement.
Circular at Pointe Chombas
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.
Col des Annes - Gouille des Fours via the Col des Verts
Depart from the Col des Annes, pass by the Refuge de la Pointe Percée, then by the Col des Verts. Camp at the Gouille des Fours, where ibex have made their home, with a magnificent view of Mont Blanc.
Pointe des Carmélites
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.
Gouille des Fours - Col des Annes via Lac de Tardevant
From Gouille des Fours, head towards Lac de Tardevant via the Grande Forclaz and Ambrevetta passes, then return via alpine pastures and forests to La Pointe and Col des Annes.
