Definitely a walk for experienced walkers. We went as a family but my parents (60yo competent walkers) got scared of the fog around halfway up and so turned around. However we carried on in quite cloudy conditions (you could always see where you were going, just not the view!). There’s a lot of scrambling/sliding. And to get to the peak is two ladders with quite a sheer drop (but they feel v sturdy!). Can imagine it’s quite spectacular on a clear day, but equally as accomplishing on a cloudy one too! Oh and there’s friendly mountain goats near the top too. Take lots of water/layers/food - temp drops around 10° from the car park to the peak. We did it quite quickly - around 4.5hours up and down including a lunch stop, but we ran all the downhill parts (signposted time is 4 hours just to the peak, maybe 2.5 extra to come down). We followed a route from alltrails but it’s also fairly well signposted all the way This is a different beautiful walk that offers you an incredible of the scenery around lake Annecy. You can start your walk from Restaurant Le Chalet de l'Aulp and follow the well worn path up the route. Along the route there are many marks on the rocks to help you find your way Noice view. Noice hike. Noice sandwich with the noice after the noice hike. 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 Wonderful! Great, challenging hikes are plentiful. Views are beautiful. Recommended to start a early if in summer. Beautiful mountain to climb! If you love to hike, you should go to the top of this mountain. The trail is rough, so take it easy. On the map there are two ways to reach the top (from chalet d aulp) at le Casset the path is splitting, if you want to be challenged you can take the left one, but this is a very hard and sometimes a little dangerous way. The path to the right is more safe. To reach the plateau on top, you have to climb some ladders but it’s totally worth it! Parking is possible at pre-Verel (large) and at Col de Aulp (small) 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 itself isn't too hard, we did start with a 1 hour steep descent, but the of the Mont Blanc Ridge from up was just amazing, and lake Annecy of course. 1 hour drive from Geneva, Swiss. The la Toutnette at Annecy Lake is truly breathtaking. The landscapes along the way are nothing short of amazing. When you reach the summit, you're rewarded with a stunning 360-degree that includes not only the lake but also Mont Blanc! I highly recommend starting this early in the morning because, as the highest mountain around the lake, it's quite popular, and the trail can get crowded. It's important to be comfortable with both hiking and a bit of climbing since there are sections where you’ll need to hold on to a metallic rope. But trust me, it's absolutely worth it! 🏔️☀️💚 Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
