The most beautiful of the Baujus peaks! Loop hike Mont Pecloz 2197m and Mont d'Armenaz 2158m.
Please note: The descent from Mont Pécloz is rather tricky (exposure to rockfalls + some passages requiring the use of your hands).

A beautiful, challenging circular route that takes you to two of the 14 2,000-metre peaks in the Bauges massif, Mont Pécloz and Mont d'Armenaz. The climb up to the pass separating the two peaks is quite steep, but you'll be accompanied by chamois. Once you reach the summit, Mont Pécloz offers a 360° view of the Alps. The descent is popular with ski tourers in winter.

I recommend a lovely circular hike via Mont Pécloz, Mont d’Arménaz and Pointe de la Fougère.
Warning! Some sections are tricky, particularly the descent from Mont Pécloz towards Col d'Armène and the ridge between Mont d'Armenaz and Pointe de la Fougère
See the practical information section.

A hike in the heart of the Bauges Massif towards one of its most beautiful peaks.
The ascent to the Col de l'Armène offers opportunities to spot chamois and enjoy varied panoramic views of the Northern Alps.
On the descent, be sure to visit the ruined village of La Chapelle and the Notre-Dame de Bellevaux Chapel.
