Hike to Mont Clocher & Mont de Vorès
Last summer, I went on a hike to Mont Clocher and Mont de Vorès, in the Beaufortain mountains.
Here is a map of the path I walked (download KML):
In the morning, I took a LIHSA bus from Annecy to Albertville, then boarded a shuttle to Beaufort-sur-Doron, where I switched to another shuttle to Col des Saisies. From there, I took a chairlift then starting walking, The path was mostly on dirt roads and there were a lot of people. I reached Mont Clocher then kept going to Mont de Vorès. At the end of the day, I took the Téléphérique du Crêt du Midi down to Praz-sur-Arly. Finally, I took a LIHSA bus to Sallanches and then boarded a train to Annecy.
