Departure from Bellevaux (Haute-Savoie)
A hike that begins peacefully by the lake and then alternates between paths, tracks, ridges, plateaus, forest and waterfalls.
Beautiful landscapes on the southern part of the route, possible encounters with chamois, we really enjoyed ourselves on this day's walk.
Crossing Les Follys and Pointe de Chavannais in a circular loop

Very difficult
Departure from Bellevaux (Haute-Savoie)
I suggest a lovely circular route starting from La Chèvrerie (Bellevaux) with numerous viewpoints along the way. After reaching the Diomaz waterfall, you will climb three peaks in succession (Pointe des Follys, Tête des Follys and Pointe de Chavannais) before returning via the Pététoz area. The main difficulties are the distance, the elevation gain and the steepness of some of the slopes.

Departure from Saint-Jean-d'Aulps (Haute-Savoie)
Reach the Graydon mountain pasture and its chapel by first taking the Roc d'Enfer cable car. You will then find yourself in a peaceful environment, surrounded by gentians and grazing cows, with Mont Blanc as a backdrop... The Graydon mountain pasture stretches out at the foot of the majestic Roc d'Enfer, where cows and goats graze peacefully on the lush grass around the small chapel surrounded by a magnificent valley.

Departure from Les Gets (Haute-Savoie)
This route allows you to explore the entire Mont-Chéry area. This hike is signposted "Le Grand Tour du Mont Chéry" (Pink hike). I suggest a variation by climbing Mont-Chéry and passing through the Col de Lachat. Much of this hike offers magnificent views of the Mont Blanc range and the Pre-Alps.
The Pointe d'Angolon via the Arête de Chamossière

Difficult
Departure from Les Gets (Haute-Savoie)
A circular loop around the resort of Les Gets with an ascent to the Pointe d’Angolon, where the panorama is superb, offering views of: the Fiz and Aravis ranges, the Mont Blanc massif in the background and the Dents du Midi. You can also see Morzine clearly and a stretch of Lake Geneva.
The climb to Pointe d’Angolon is a good introduction to ridge trails as it is slightly exposed, with cables at one point. However, the route is never difficult.

Departure from Abondance (Haute-Savoie)
A linear hike from a lake accessible by car to a mountain lake in a wild setting, then back down into the valley. A very beautiful traverse at the foot of the impressive north faces of Pointe de la Chavache and Pointe d'Entre Deux Pertuis.

Departure from Samoëns (Haute-Savoie)
This fourth stage crosses the Giffre massif to reach the Anterne Refuge, situated in a magnificent setting at the foot of the impressive Fiz cliff face. From the Refuge de la Golèse, the GR®5 descends into the Clévieux valley (south-east), passing the Chavonnes chalets and then the hamlet of Les Allamands, where it joins the road. It runs alongside the road and follows it as far as Les Moulins, where it follows the left bank of the Clévieux and crosses through Samoëns. On leaving the town, it follows the Giffre upstream, first on the right bank then the left, before leaving the river to follow its tributary, the Giffre des Fonds. The GR®5 crosses it at the Pont des Nants and again at the Pont de Sales, before climbing up to the hamlets of Fardelay and Lignon and entering the Torrent de Sales valley. At the Pleureuse waterfall, it leaves this valley to head north-east, pass the small pass of Anterne and descend to the Anterne stream before climbing up to the Anterne Refuge.
