The Croix de Varzéron as seen from the Gorges de l’Arly
Cool and refreshing! That’s the key phrase to describe this walk. Even during a heatwave! In such conditions, do make sure to tackle the climb in the morning. Roughly 95 per cent of this walk is in the shade. And then there’s that footbridge, about a hundred metres long, spanning the Arly torrent. Not to mention the torrents and numerous waterfalls you’ll come across on your way to the village of Cohennoz, with its very unique eco-museum, which is well worth a visit.
Route from Col de l'Arpettaz to Boegneuve
Starting from the Col de l'Alpettaz, this is a walk for the whole family. Magnificent views, breathtaking vistas and, as a bonus, if the weather is not too foggy, the Mont Blanc massif. You can even buy Savoyard cheeses.
The Mont Charvin circular
A somewhat aerial hike offering spectacular views. The passage by the lake provides an opportunity for a pleasant break.
As the route includes a section of via ferrata, cables are in place during the summer season on the most difficult parts. However, it is not recommended to attempt this route in wet weather, as some sections can be slippery and falls are not permitted.
The final section of this hike is reserved for experienced hikers.
Lac du Mont Charvin via Col des Porthets
A moderately difficult hike through the steep, rocky mountain pastures of Mont Charvin. From the Fontanettes car park in the commune of Le Bouchet, the climb takes you past the Chalet des Fontanettes and the Chalet de l'Aulp de Marlens, then through the valley to the Col des Porthets. From there, descend to join the path coming from Manigod and climb back up to the lake. The return journey follows the same route.
