Walk along Lac du Bourget: From Aix-les-Bains to Le Bourget-du-Lac
During the summer of 2020, I walked along Lac du Bourget from the Grand Port of Aix-les-Bains to Le Bourget-du-Lac. I also visited Château de Thomas II on the way.
Hike to Arpettaz de Thuy
Last summer, I went on a hike to Arpettaz de Thuy, a rocky ridge below Tête de l’Arpettaz and above La Balme de Thuy near Thônes.
Hike to Mont Truc (Saint-Gervais-les-Bains)
Last fall, I went on a hike to Mont Truc, in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains. In French, its name would translate to Mount Thingy, but in Franco-Provençal, a truc is actually a small hill. I had already passed through the area, when I went on a hike to Mont Vorassay.
Hike to Pointe de Rouelletaz
In the summer of 2022, I went on a hike to Pointe de Rouelletaz, near Tête des Annes and Pointe des Delevrets.
Hike to Mont Durant & Tours Saint-Jacques
At the end of the summer of 2022, I went on a hike to Mont Durant and Tours Saint-Jacques on the west side of Semnoz. I had already been to Tours Saint-Jacques before but I was a bit out of time then. This day, I had a proper visit.
Hike to Chalet de Cotagne
In the fall of 2022, I went on a hike to Chalet de Cotagne, above Thônes, on the mountian known as Montagne de Cotagne. There was a great view on the Thônes valley and the Aravis.
