Hike along the Viéran river
At the beginning of 2020, I went on a hike along the Viéran river, north of Annecy. I had already followed part of it when I walked from Pont de la Caille to Argonay & Annecy: This time I followed the course of the river all the way until its confluence with the Fier river.

Hike to Montagne de la Mandallaz (Winter 2020)

Snowshoe hike on Plateau du Semnoz
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.
