Hike to Montagne d'Âge

After Vallon du Fier, I continued walking and, after a detour through a trail along Nant de Calvi, I reached Poisy, a village northwest of Annecy. My goal was to cross the Montagne d’Âge, a small mountain that is part of the Jura mountains, from the north to the south on the way to Château de Montrottier and Gorges du Fier in Lovagny.

Here is a map of the path I walked (download KML):

I actually started walking from Annecy-le-Vieux, but this map starts and ends at bus stops.
