Last winter, I tried snowshoeing and visited a few of the nordic skiing resorts around Annecy. Most of them have prepared tracks (with packed snow) for walking and snowshoes. The first resort I visited was the one closest to Annecy, at Station du Semnoz.
In the fall of 2019, I went on a hike near Bellegarde-sur-Valserine: I walked the Voie du Tram until Pont des Pierres and took a trail along the Valserine river on the way back.
In the fall of last year, I went on a hike to Mont Baron and Mont Veyrier, this time starting from Col de Bluffy and arriving in Annecy.
In the fall of last year, I went on a hike in the Bauges mountains above Chambéry: I passed through Trou de l’Enfer, Canyon de Ternèze and Motte Castrale du Grand Joueret on the way to Chapelle Saint-Michel.
In the fall of last year, I went on a hike from Faverges to Albertville through Col de Tamié.
In the fall of last year, I went on a hike along the Fier river in Thônes: I walked upstream from Pont de Morette to Pont Romain des Clefs.
I published a new book last month. It is available on Amazon as a paperback and is called: 30 Day Hikes Near Tokyo.
Here is a sample PDF with a few hikes: Sample PDF. You can also go to the companion web page for the book, where you will find GPS tracks for the hikes, as well as links to additional photos and public transport directions.
Last fall, I walked from Poisy to Cran-Gevrier near Annecy, passing through Gorges du Fier, Parc Altaïs, Parcours Nature Fier et Erbe and Cercle de l’Eau.
