Hike to Mont Bisanne
Last fall, I went on a hike to Mont Bisanne, in the Beaufortain mountains. I went there by car with my father, but in summer, it is also possible to get there with the Navettes natures Beaufortain.
Here is a map of the path I walked:

In the morning, passing through the Beaufort valley, I went by car from Annecy to the resort at Col des Saisies (Parking du Signal), below Mont Bisanne. Instead of taking the direct way up to the summit, I first walked to the other side of Mont Bisanne, reaching Lac des Saisies and La Croix de Coste. On the way, there was a great view on the Aravis mountains. I then followed ski tracks to reach the summit. Finally, I went down to the resort directly from there. To get back to Annecy, I passed through Flumet and Col des Aravis.
