  • Sur les Pas des Premiers Guides

    7.7 km · +668 m

    Departing from Champel, a hamlet that dominates the Val Montjoie, this loop trail through the Bionnassay valley follows a mountain-flank path to trace the history of mountaineering as a themed, family-accessible route.

  • Col de Tricot

    12.1 km · +1550 m

    The route begins in the village of Les Chavants in the Houches valley and passes through a varied Savoyard landscape on its way to the col.

  • Aiguille Croche

    23 km · +1000 m

    A high-mountain route in the Northern Alps that climbs to the 2,500 m summit of Aiguille Croche, an emblematic Haute-Savoie peak offering 360° panoramic views. An orientation table at the top helps hikers identify the surrounding summits, while the trail runs along the slopes of Mont Joly with views across the valley toward Mont Blanc.

  • Le Mont d'Arbois - Mont Joux

    11.8 km · +1788 m

    The route passes one of the last working alpine farms surrounded by meadow wildflowers — gentians, cowslips, and buttercups — before climbing to the Mont Joux orientation table, where an unobstructed panorama of the Mont Blanc massif opens up. Along the way, the path also looks out over a golf course spread across the high plateau below.
