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
At the end of the summer of 2020, I went on a hike to Dent du Cruet and 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
In the summer of 2020, I went on a hike to Mont Margeriaz in the Bauges mountains, taking the path through Golet de l’Agneau from La Féclaz.
Walk along the CEVA: From Gare d'Annemasse to Gare de Genève - Cornavin
Annecy Paysages 2021
The Annecy Paysages art festival is currently taking place in Annecy until the end of September. Like the previous years, it features installations from a few dozen artists, scattered around the city center and the shore of the lake. Most are new but there are also a few that were already there last year (or that have now been installed permanently). Here is a map of all the art pieces and below are photos of some of them.
Hike to Circuit du Calvaire (Thônes)
Last fall, I walked Circuit du Calvaire in Thônes: It is a short trail that starts at the Calvaire near the bus station then goes for a loop in the forest.
