At the beginning of summer, I went to Chamonix to visit Aiguille du Midi, a mountain next to Mont Blanc and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area: It can easily be accessed by cable car from the valley and, with the highest viewing platform located at the 3842m summit, it offers the best view on the Mont Blanc, the surrounding glaciers and the Chamonix valley.
At the beginning of summer, I went on a hike to Chalets de Charbonnière and Chalets de Varan, above Passy.
The Église Sainte-Geneviève des Bressis is a catholic church located in the Cran-Gevrier neighbourhood of Annecy. It was designed in the modernist style by architect Paul Jacquet and was completed in the 1960’s.
At the end of spring, I went on a hike to Le Môle, in the Chablais Alps above Bonneville.
Last spring, I went on a hike in the Bauges mountains: Starting from Lathuile, south of Lake Annecy, I walked a loop around Roc de Four Magnin, a smaller mountain located between Roc des Boeufs and Montagne du Charbon.
“Annecy Paysages” is a yearly open-air festival featuring artistic and live plant installations by landscape architects, visual artists and architects who reinterpret the city’s open spaces. Just like the first edition last year, it takes place in the center of Annecy until the end of summer. Here is a map of all the artworks and the PDF brochure.
Last spring, I went on a walk in Haute-Savoie near Lake Geneva (Lac Léman): Starting from Thonon-les-Bains, I walked to Yvoire, a small medieval town by the lake, passing through the Châteaux des Allinges (Castles of Allinges) on the way.
Earlier this spring, I went on a hike to Vallée du Laudon, an area in the Bauges mountains located between Montagne d’Entrevernes and Semnoz, above Saint-Jorioz.
Earlier this spring, I went on a hike to Mont Orchez, in the Chablais mountains above Cluses. I also visited Cascade de l’Englennaz, a waterfall in Cluses.
