This is the highest peak around Lake Annecy and it can be climbed from more than one direction. I would say that most people that come with the aim to get to the top arrive from the lake and drive up.... more

Amazing views, but quite a tough climb and descent. Significant exposure to falls, some chains broken and polished slippery rocks. Not recommended for anyone afraid of heights or younger/inexperienced children. You can no longer park at the restaurant unless you have a reservation, and the track to it is only suitable for 4x4 anyway. I'd suggest as early as possible to ensure parking, but more importantly to keep the climb in the shade as long as possible. Grippy shoes and poles recommended

La Tournette, a mountain in the Massif in Haute-Savoie, France located above and opposite beautiful Lake Annecy where is mostly calm and considered to be quite warm comparing to mountains lakes, great for water activities (i was on the sap all week). Great hikes all around, these photo's are from the Tournette, where you drive to one of the villages under,(Montmin for ex.) it isn't easy to find the closest parking spot to start the hikes, we had to drive around small and narrow streets, but 3 times hiking and 3 times I found it at the end. The hike itself isn't too hard, we did start with a 1 hour steep descent, but the view of the Mont Blanc Ridge from up was just amazing, and lake Annecy of course. 1 hour drive from Geneva, Swiss.

Amazing view over Lac Annecy and the area around. Google maps says you can drive to Restaurant Le Chalet de l'Aulp and you can. But we the last part from Refuge du Pre Vèrel are rough and can look like a road for tractor. But if you can reach the top restaurant you will save 1.4 km walking and start 200 m higher over sea level. The walking up are tough but you need time, water, some food and clothes if the weather change. The shoes should also be good for hiking.

A difficult trail to the top of the mountain because you need chains and ladders to get on top of it (depends a bit which one you take) but you got one of the nicest views on the Lake of Annecy and a great view on the mountains around Tournette.
