Trévignin walks

Walk through the forest, sometimes on a trail, sometimes on a forest track, then emerge in the mountain pastures of the Chalets de la Clusaz and reach the sublime viewpoint of the Tour des Ébats, where you can admire Lake Bourget, the Chaîne de l'Épine, the Bauges, the Tournette and, in the distance, Mont Blanc. Then, follow the ridge to reach the highest point of Le Revard, the Tour de l'Angle Est, with its magnificent panorama. Return via the Crémaillére trail.

This walk follows the route of the Crémaillère, a railway line that opened on 15 August 1892 and once linked the spa town of Aix-les-Bains to Mont-Revard. It’s a very pleasant walk in summer, as it mainly passes through woodland and the mountain pastures of Mont-Revard. It was in 2001 that the ‘Association Tourisme et Culture Autour de la Crémaillère’ began developing the Sentier de la Crémaillère, starting from Mouxy. Originally, the first station was situated in the centre of the spa town, very close to the Hôtel Bernascon. This walk covers the first section, between Mouxy and Pugny-Chatenod.

A half-day walk to discover the tourist heritage, a chapel and panoramic views. The yellow-marked route runs below Mont Revard. This circular walk can be practiced in either direction.

A country walk between Lac du Bourget and the foothills of Le Revard. Along the way, you will discover wash houses, a bread oven, a number of metal crosses perched on stone blocks, the slightly secluded Saint-Maurice Chapel, the old village of Clarafond, etc. And, weather permitting, more distant panoramic views. There are no specific markings, but there are a few mountain bike markers here and there.

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...

This circuit takes you to Le Revard via the Chemin de la Crémaillère and back down via the Pas du Rebollion and the Col du Pertuiset. There are a few variations that add extra difficulty to this circuit. This circuit can be done in the opposite direction to the description.

Le Revard is a plateau offering magnificent views of both the Northern Alps around Mont Blanc and Lake Bourget at its feet. This circular route climbs from the edge of the old cable car station, ascending the very steep Pas du Rebollion off-trail, then, after a route passing through several bumps on the plateau, descends via the classic Pertuiset trail.Route modified on 3/07/2023 between (6) and (9) to avoid private land, then on 20/10/2025 between (4) and (5) to take into account changes in the equipment.

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.

This hike through the mountain pastures allows you to discover the Creusates peat bog and its educational trail, as well as the Croix des Bergers, offering magnificent panoramic views of the Bauges Massif and the surrounding mountains and Mont Blanc

Route from Saint-Offenge-Dessus via the Col de la Cochette and Château de Larron An easy hike, mostly through woodland, with a short stretch across mountain pastures.

This route offers stunning panoramic views of the Bauges and Mont Blanc on one side, and the Revard and the Albanais on the other. With an ascent and descent through the cool forest and a mountain pasture plateau at the top offering magnificent views, this route has many attractions. The route presents no technical difficulties. Note that there is a section with a cable after the Mermet chalets, which is not particularly difficult.

From the car park at the church in Saint Offenge-dessous, this circular route leads south through countryside, forest and hamlets. Alternating between roads with very little traffic, paths and trails, it offers some beautiful views.

A family walk taking around two hours there and back, including a visit to the cave. An easier alternative to the existing hike, the Combe aux Moines and the Grotte des Fées, which is a bit long for young children. Starts from the last accessible car park on the Chemin de la Grotte des Fées Following comments, the difficulty has been changed to "Medium", which wasn’t my initial impression as the walk was done with young children. Take particular care on the Chemin du Singe. ⚠️ To reach the car park at the start of the Grotte des Fées, from Aix-Les-Bains, follow the “Chemin du Ponsonnet” to the left of the D48, then turn right onto the “Chemin de la grotte des fées”.

This circular route starting from Saint-Offenge allows you to admire the rocks of Château Larron and then the panoramic view from the summit of La Dolca. Beautiful views of Lake Bourget and Montagne du Chat from Chalet Trousset. There are also lovely views from the Golet du Pont.

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.
