Hike along the right bank of the Rhône in Geneva: From Pont de Sous-Terre to Russin
During the summer of 2020, I went on a hike along the right bank of the Rhône in Geneva: Starting from Pont de Sous-Terre in the city, I walked all the way to Russin.
It is not as straightforward or pleasant as the Sentier du Rhône on the left bank but the path has its moments. Since then, I also walked a third section of the Rhône in Geneva: Starting in Valleiry (in France), I crossed the border at the Far West of Geneva and walked upstream towards Russin. Here are some photos.
Hike to Dent du Cruet & Pointe de Talamarche

Hike to Crêt de la Dame & Mont Pelé (Allonzier-la-Caille)
Earlier this year, at the beginning of summer, I went on a short hike to Crêt de la Dame and Mont Pelé, in Allonzier-la-Caille north of Annecy.
Mont Pelé is the small mountain that can be seen from Pont de la Caille when looking towards Allonzier. I couldn’t find a hike report or guide about it online so I went to check it out, walking a loop through the two mountains.
Map of hikes around Annecy featured on the blog
Here is a map of all the hike reports around Annecy featured on this blog:
There are also some simple city walks and a few bike routes. It is possible to click on the marker and a link to the corresponding blog page will be shown on the left. In the future, I will try to add hikes to it whenever I make a new post. I have also added a link on the right side of the blog.
For convenience, here is a KML with all the hikes that can be opened in Google Earth.
I know the map looks quite messy but my former blog provider (Wordpress.com) only allowed Google Maps to be embedded so I went with Google My Maps originally. I made a new version recently but I haven’t had time yet to make it better.
Hike to Mont Margeriaz

Hike to Circuit du Calvaire (Thônes)
